I am so antsy about today's weigh-in with my family. We're all doing it together. My mom, sister, brother, sister-in-law, and I all need to lose weight so we're making our own Biggest Loser competition between us. I've been doing really well for the past few weeks, but this week was the I-have-cramps-and-want-to-eat-everything week for me. Gees being female is not easy lol. But I tried to keep myself under control so we'll see how it goes. I *hope hope hope* I lose 4 lbs because that will mean I've hit the 15 lb mark which will feel great! I'm already feeling pretty good because I started at 343 and as of today will be in the 320's (hopefully lol). When we went school shopping with my stepkids on Saturday, I had a real wake-up call. I was reminded of exactly why I'm doing this. First, I want to feel comfortable in my own body. I don't want to feel like I have things I have to cover up in order to look acceptable. Second, I want to be able to s-h-o-p! I mean, i can shop now, but not where I want. I want to be able to walk into the stores I like and know they have clothes that will fit me, no problem. I want to see a cute outfit on a mannequin and know it would look cute on me too. It's not about the material possessions, it's about knowing my body is what it's supposed to be. Most of all, I want to honor God with my body. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and I want to take care of it the way God intended. I can't wait to see how my life changes because I'm determined to be different from now on.
