First time using my blog

Okay I didn't even know this option existed. I think I will try it out.

I wanted to say something about how I believe God is in this with me.

I have prayed all my life about my weight. I have tried many ways to lose. I had even begun thinking a little bit about surgery. But I have a friend who had it done and she still has to eat a regimented plan. So what's the difference?

I asked once more for God to help me with the motivation I needed to go on a plan. I didn't even know which one. I knew I needed the motivation first.

So the first thing that happened was my cousin called and she shared that she hired a personal coach to help her get started towards weight loss and exercise. I knew this was very big on her part because she doesn't have a lot of money to be throwing around on stuff like that. My thots after talking to her were... if she can do that, I can do something about my weight.

Next I heard myself saying that I have to do something because nothing is not acceptable! (again I was looking around my back to see who said that)

Next I suggested to a friend who has recently lost her husband that if/when she was ready to do something about the weight, maybe we could do something together. I had not planned to say that to her. I believe Holy Spirit was actually speaking there. My friend turned right around and told me that after Christmas she planned to re-join ww's. I wrinkled up my nose at that idea but I had time to give it some thot. (about six weeks)

It was me that called up my friend in January and asked her if she had signed up yet. She said no but lets do it! We picked a day and time that worked for both of us and re-joined ww's.

It has worked out great for both of us. For me it is the first time I have ever done it with a buddy. We don't talk much during the week. we meet at the ww meeting and we are aware of each other's losses. We are both losing quite well.

I can say a lot more but I need to get on my treadmill and I am just procrastinating by writing here.
