Jan 5, 2010


Yes, this is me in all my "glory". I am around 260 pounds. This is the last Christmas Eve I will ever spend at this weight. Thru God's love and my family's encouragement, I will do this. I have to do this.
The last straw was when my doctor put me on high blood pressure pills. That was it for me. I have "played" around with this for way too long. This time it is for my health and life.

This blog will be my ongoing diary of how I am doing...pics will be added...and victories will be shared. What else will be shared will be my hard times...when I feel like giving up and throwing in the towel or shake ....

I can do all things thru Christ Who strengthens me. I am going to prove that promise of God. I don't know how long it will take ... it took many years to get me to this point ... I will continue until I am healthy. Yes, forget the size 3's or the 125 on the scale. I am doing this for my health and for my family. I want to be here for my grandchildren. I know my daughter is only 12. I want to run and jump ... well, maybe just walk without a cane ... or even walk the entire time while at Disneyland ... yes, I rent one of those electric scooters ... they are fun ... but remind me I am to fat to walk like everyone else.

Ok, I don't officially start until Monday the 11th on the program. Yes, between then and now, I will have whatever I want to eat. It will be a while before I can eat a juicy steak or have a piece of pie, but I will have them.

I chose this option instead of WLS because I really feel God is telling me to do this. He wants to show me He is bigger than my food addiction. He is you know.

Until next time ...
