I have goals!

     Last night when I went to bed I started thinking in 11 months my oldest daughter will be 30!  OMGosh!  I can hardly believe it!  How is that possible?  So I decided I want to lose 130#.  I want to be the weight I was before I got pregnant with her by her 30th!!  That's and average of 15# a month!  I really think I can do it!!  I need something to give me a drive so that once and for all I reach my goal!!  This is it!  I'm going to do it this time.  So here are my goals, I want to exercise more, drink more water, and eat less!  No problem?  I can do that?  I'm feeling better and better every day and I want to continue feeling even better!  I want to be the size God created me to be.  I don't want to be super-sized any more.  I used to pray that I would wake up and not be fat anymore.  I just realized that God, who is the God of miracles can do anything!  Right?  So why cant he make me thin overnight?  I  realized that we do need his help, but we have to take the first step.  We have to make the decision to make changes in our lives, if he made me thin overnight what would I learn?  Nothing!  I would still think I could eat what I was eating to get to where I am today....  I now know that it is one day at a time, one wise choice at a time.  There is no quick fix!  We have the power within ourselves to make those choices.  God gave us free will.  We can choose to believe in him.  We can choose to ask his son to come into our hearts and give us eternal life.  And we can choose what we put in our mouths everyday.  God will be there with us holding our hands helping us make the right choices if we just ask.  That's what I'm doing I'm asking for his help.  I want to be healthy for the family that he blessed me with.  The power is within us if we choose to tap into it.  I also need help and support from my family but most of all my friends who are on the same journey as me.  People who understand what it's like to be me.  If someone hasn't had a substantial amount of weight to lose they cant possibly understand?

    I'm right there with you Bernice. I do understand even though my weight goal is different. It's a day to day fight and it's so easy to slip back and start regaining if we don't keep that goal in front of us. We just gotta do what we gotta do to motivate ourselves. Build on our small achievements and ask for help when we stumble. We will succeed if we continue to do all that we can do to make this happen!

    That's a good sermon,peach it sister!It reminds me of a few things,once I heard Joesph Prince preach about how u can ask God for a miracle but if u don't ask for wisdom you'll end up worse then u were before.Remember when the Lord asked King Solomon what he wanted,he asked for wisdom.He could have ask for riches but since he didn't,the Lord gave him both.U are wise,my dear sister!!
