Hello all,
This is taking a lot for me so try and bear with me. Thanks.
I have been struggling with my weight for years now and some of you may understand that it is NOT fun and can be down right depressing. To be quit honest-in the last 6mths to a year I have just given up. I was tired of being on this continued roller coaster-up, down, good day, bad day. In my head I know what I need to do but sticking to it is the difficult part. I have tried a lot of things and a lot of things work...but then I fall of the wagon. So that leads me to today. About a week ago I saw on TV a story of a woman who weighed 400lbs and enlisted support of friends, family, and co-workers to help her by "sponsoring a lb". For example one guy said he would shave his head when she had lost the pound he sponsored-so all the other friends encouraged her as they wanted to see this guy's head shaved also. Each of them made a commitment to help her as she made a commitment to loose the weight. She has since lost her "200 lbs." She has a website I found and read up on-(I pasted it below)it was inspiring. This is something I have never thought of trying-maybe embarassment, maybe invasion of personal space, accountability, etc...Whatever the reason, I need to do this now. I have 82lbs to loose and that is too much to be carrying around on me for health reasons. I am biting the bullet and doing this now instead of prolonging and making worse the inevitable. Please help me-be creative-inspire me! Thank you so much for what I know this will do for me. My starting date was actually July 1st so sorry for the late email. I will keep all of you posted on the progress. If you need ideas-the website below has some. Also, you may fwd this to anyone I might have left out.
PS-My verse during this time is 1 Corinthians 10:13
God is faithful!
Love you-Thank you!!!
Jenne
