LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN...

 Yes! Both you and me are gorgeous. We are created in God's image, and He doesn't make junk!  Now, we may not be perfect in our own minds, but let's face it will we ever be??? We can be our own worse enemy, but I am not letting that happen anymore. We are going to learn together how to love ourselves and be healthy at the same time.

So we have to start somewhere... so let's head to the beginning as painful as it might be... starting with this picture on the right here.

This is me at my highest with my beautiful daughter.
I am so proud of her, and I loved seeing her compete and roller skate. You see a proud mama with a happy smile and yes, here I am happy. but underneath is a mama that is actually hurting.

The seats were actually wooden benches and my back was in agony. What did I do?  Why I faked it, but on my smile and acted like everything was a-ok. The only person I didn't fool was my hubby. He knew I was in pain.

I was also at my highest weight ever. After I saw this picture on his phone, I wanted to cry. In my mind, I wasn't this big. So I stepped on the scale and to my shock it said 395lbs. I really think I was closer to 400 in this pic.

I knew I had to make a change so I started researching diets. And I started praying... "God show me what to do. Help me become healthy for my family and for you. Let me find my potential so I can be useful for your kingdom."

I decided fad diets were not for me. He impressed on my heart, I needed something that became a life change just not a weight change. With hubby's support, I start searching.  At this time, I started seeing Weight Watcher ads on TV about their new Freestyle Program.  This was a light bulb moment. I did WW many, many years ago. I can do this! I lose weight when I count calories and track my food. When I stop, I gain.

So lets get this show on the road!
