Yesterday I started another journey within my journey. I rejoined Weight Watchers. I had worked so hard to lose weight over a year ago..and then just let it all go and stopped walking and started mindless eating until I gained it all back, plus 13 more pounds. I have no one to blame but myself. Can't blame my situation either. Just got lazy. It's hard work to lose weight and exercise....and it comes back on a lot faster than it takes to lose it. And I knew what I was doing, but didn't care. It was easier to just go out and buy bigger clothes again rather than stop to plan and make better choices.
But now....I begin again....I'm embarrassed and sad that I let it come back to this, but last night at my meeting I was welcomed back with open arms. I have a precious leader who's husband is going through chemo at MD Anderson. He has been through a lot, but yet he sits at the desk to great all of us and encourage us no matter what the scale shows. They have both been on this journey together...in weight loss and now in the journey to battle his cancer. And then there is her mama, that comes to every meeting too. She's so precious!! Their day begins by making sure mama has all she needs for her diabetes, and he has what he needs for his chemo but yet they smile....the light of God shines through them!!
So I begin again....one step at a time....knowing that I'm not expected to run the mile, but knowing God will give me the strength go to the distance...and loved at every step of the way no matter what!!
