Accountability

I am still hanging in there. Though not easy at time, I am still determine to take this weight loss journey all the way. It takes a made up mind and I thank God for a made up mind. I haven't always had a mind to eat right, but thanks be to God who love me such much and only want the best for all His children. There was a time when I didn't want to be held accountable for my actions and I didn't always listen when the doctors told me that if I kept gaining weight, I would be headed for serious health problems. Someone once asked me " what was my motivation for getting healthy?" I told them that I was motivated by the terrible pain that I was having in my back and legs. I always felt swollen and my feet was always in pain. Sometimes I couldn't walk on it. But thanks be to God that was six months ago! I have now lost over twenty-five pounds! yay!!! I had a wonderful Mother's Day. My weight was down by twenty-five pounds since last Mother's Day. Our children blessed me with lots of gifts and love. I am so glad that God trusted us to raise four beautiful children in which we are proud of. A mother love will never wear out but instead it goes on and on.!! I found that I can't be afraid to answer to someone because all they want to do is to help. I have our baby daughter and husband that keeps me in check!!! Our daughter is also on this journey with me except she don't have nearly as many pounds to lose as I have. She is doing great on her journey. She has also lost almost fifteen pounds. I had to send up some prayers for her because she was headed down the same path that I use to be on which was not good at all. But she has a clean bill of health and only God could do that. my whole grain wisdom for the day: The fast track to lasting change is the slow one! I cm reminded of the Word that says I will never leave you, nor forsake you. We will always have the Lord on our side and He WILL NOT leave us!!!
