Day 51
Extreme Accountability Challenge Starting weight 304 pounds Destination weight 175 pounds. Total weight loss to date 38.6 pounds There is a common theme that seems to be occurring this week. The theme of being thankful for your struggles. I believe it’s where our greatest blessings are. This morning at 5:30 am as I was lying in bed trying to muster the energy to rise for the day and begin what feels like an insurmountable amount of tasks that, while I don’t mean to complain, I feel completely inadequate to accomplish. One of those, I don’t know where to begin moments. Then the thought of reading hit me, and the first thing that I turned to was Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. But God I’m much better at complaining! I think that’s the point. Then I was reminded that only a few months ago, actually 52 days ago I was crying out to God for an answer to the 304 pounds. And here we are. Now 265 pounds is not my destination of 175 pounds but my complaining and fear and blah, blah, blah… Has turned to the most confidence that I’ve ever had regarding my weight. 175 pounds here I come!!!
Press forward. |
