Part of my weight loss battle is I practically feel guilty for complaining about being over weight. I only have 47 lbs to lose where most of America has much more to lose so I feel bad complaining. I go to web sites like 3fatchicks.com & go to there goal forum & look a pics of people who have lost over 100 lbs. And most people find that inspiring but the first thing that comes to my mind is "I could never do that".
I have had two separate occasions in the last couple weeks where God has spoken & encouraged me through my devotions. The thing that is going to be my mantra is "I am just passing through" The devotion was based off the Psalm 23:4 "Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." So I was sure this devotion titled "You're Just Passing Through" was going to be about death & heaven but to my wonderful surprise it was about feeling stuck in a situation that you feel will never change we must allow God to guide you through it. And when the devil says, "You're trapped" to say No I am just passing through!
Another quote I love that I saw for the first time on 3fatchicks.com is: "A year from now you'll be glad you started today." It is so true! I told my self when I turned 30 that by my next birthday I would be at my goal weight giving me a whole year to accomplish this & my 31st birthday was this month.
I am happy to say today is day 4 of being on Weight Watchers again.and I am still on track. I still have most of my weekly points that I am trying to save for this Saturday because DH & I are going out to dinner & I would really like to not have to worry about what I want to order.
