Day 1 - 1/10/13

Today I am starting a journey to lose 35 pounds.  I can't say by when but I currently weigh 165 which is the most that I have ever weighed.  If I lose 1 pound a week, I can reach my goal in 35 weeks or by 9/10/2013.  That is 8 months away!  Just over a year ago I lost 25 pounds and was down to 140.  I worked very hard to get my weight off and due to some medical problems and some medication, I have gained it all back within a year.  I am very discouraged and very depressed about my weight.  I took these pictures of myself as a starting picture.  When I actually looked at them, I wanted to throw up and thought how could my husband even be attracted to me or want to touch me.  Thank God for the dark which can allow an imagination to think of how I use to look and not what I DO look like now. 

I want to not only lose the weight so I look better, I want to feel better.  I am tired all the time and I get out of breath easy.  I have heart burn alot and I don't sleep very well.  I also don't have the stamina that I use to.  I want to be in shape so that I am able to be ALL that the Lord wants me to be and do.  I don't want to hinder him in any way!

I CAN do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!
