No More Wasting Time

For years, I have battled with my weight.  However, I have never let it get so far out of hand.  This morning, when I stepped on the scale, it said that I weigh 302 pounds.  That is mind blowing and body-killing. I must admit that today was not the first day I saw that number on the scale.  I weighed yesterday and got the same result, and THAT MOMENT was when I realized that I HAD to do something to make a positive difference in my life enabling me to lose the weight.  So, yesterday I decided that I would blog about my journey in a way that would help hold myself accountable.  Each day I will blog about my struggles, my losses, my victories and all that God has shown me in the process.  I have realized that time is of the essence, and I am determined not to waste any more time.  So, today I started making positive lifestyle changes that will help me lose the weight and get my life back.  I have realized that I have already wasted too much time and NOW is the time for me to start somewhere.  So, I choose life and I am going to fight for life.  With each decision I make, I pray that God will bless my efforts in doing the best that I can to honor Him with every part of my life.  This life I have is not my own, so now I must firmly commit to change.  After all, I want to live - not exist, but really live where I am not overweight and fit enough to enjoy the things in life that everyone else does. 
I will be posting pictures as a form of accountability.  I will weigh each Thursday (only once a week) so as not to get discouraged and become obsessed with the scale.  I look forward to sharing this journey with anyone who wants to follow along.  Thanks in advance for the prayers, support, and encouragement that I may receive from some of you! To God be the Glory, GREAT THINGS He has done and WILL DO!!!
