The Day Has Come!

Do you see that girl to the left? Yup, the thin and healthy one? That will be me again in due time. I don't love the person I was during that time of my life, but man do I love how I looked! I know some of you can relate. I don't want everyone getting the wrong idea. I am not overly concerned with my outward appearance....but do you have any idea what being so overweight does to your insides?? Can I get an Amen from those who are with me on this? I want to be able to look in a mirror and not cry. I will be able to climb Mt. Washington with my husband (we will talk about that later :) I want to go clothes shopping without being nervous. I will workout without getting exhausted right away. I want to wear a dress again without being self conscious. I will love who I am both inside and out.

Tomorrow, I begin my journey. I clean out my cabinets (I had a hard time spelling cupboards. Heehee) and I go grocery shopping. Am I nervous? YUP! Do I feel like I might fail? YUP! But the better question is, "Am I going to fail?" That, my dears, is a big fat NO!

I ask for your well wishes, thoughts, but most of all prayers as I head out into the unknown. As I come to every obstacle, please pray for strength for me. As I come up against those who want to sabotage my efforts, pray for the will power to say no. As I learn something new, pray for wisdom and discernment. When I falter, please pray with me and not laugh at me.

I hope you are as excited as I am to begin this journey and become the "me I know I can be"!

Love to you all!
