Well proably about time i formally introduce myself. I'm Jennifer. I just turned 26 yesterday. I have been overweight all of my life but as time has progressed my weight has gotten higher. I am by no means stressed out about myself. I would have to say I am fairly content with me as a person. I want to be healthier for my health. God can't use me weak and blogged down. As I see my faith and relationship with God growing, more and more things become clear as what my future intails. I need to be a better me to be of true assistance I am called to be.
My mother was overweight for a good portion of her life. She was close to if not over 400 lbs. As I grew older I watched her say she just wished to be my size, and I was not a small person at that time. My heart went out to her as it does to anyone hurting in any circumstance. I am a very compasionate and helping person. But I lost my mother about 4 years ago to a heart attach and morbid obseity as they stated. I do not want to follow those steps of dying of something I myself could have changed by 52. I love her and miss her everyday. So I also do this in her memeory.
Basically, straight up its time to do it and quit excusing myself to not. I am well sound and capable to achieve this. I have even prove it to myself. I joined a weight loss group that was great for me. We learned about what the root of our weight gain came from, how to deal with issues, and what God's word said about our "temple". I was in this group for close to two months and moved and lost contact with my group. At the time of my relocation I had lost a around 20lbs. Which I so generously decided to give up my excercise pattern and eating habits and gained back that over 3 months.
So I know I can do this, Prove that, and I know I have God's will and support to get me through this. So I vow today, no more playing or putting off what I can start to change today. I will not deprive myself from things I want but I will not over do things. PROPORTIONS. If I fail sometimes, I will get back up. As I am standing on my goals, if there is anything I can ever do to help anyone, even if it is to talk (about anything not just food exercise and this site) I'm here email or message me. Remember alot of things are tied to our eating habbits and general health. So the more things you can deal with and improve in your life and other habbits, the positive change will also be seen in your weight loss journey.
I love and pray for each and everyone of you. God Bless! TTYL.
Love, Jennifer
