New Year, new me. BUT FOR REAL THOUGH. I recently bought Jacob and I a scale… after much procrastination. After more procrastination I stepped on it. After I almost passed out, I started to live with the fact that I am 100-120 pounds overweight. After years of stress eating, boredom eating, FUN eating, and hardly any exercise, its time for a change. A change for myself… for my family… and for the sake of the Gospel. I want to be healthy for myself. I want to live a long, healthy life, and I want to be confident with my body. I want to not have to shop in the Womens Plus Size section, and even then have trouble finding clothes that are flattering. I want to be healthy for my family. I do NOT want to be the mom thats feeding organic carrots to her child while shoving a doughnut in her face. I want to be an example to my family and help them make good decisions. I dont want the morals and faith I teach my children to be disregarded because of the obvious sin in my life. And I want to be healthy for the sake of the Gospel. The IMB (International Mission Board) has health qualifications and weight restrictions. Its a big, swift (much-needed) kick in the pants in so many ways to be told that you cant share the Gospel overseas BECAUSE YOURE TOO FAT. Lord, help us. I dont expect to lose it all in a year, and frankly, I hope I dont. I want this to be a change that lasts. With a demaded in-home quarantine with Hank, it may prove to be a little difficult, but this has now become a life or death situation. This is my year. This is my time. And dear Lord, Im going to do it.
