"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" ~Erma Bombeck

It's a sad, but familiar story

It's a sad, but familiar story.  Here I am....I got weary and gave up....

It's September 5, 2012, and I left my healthy way of eating in the dust, and picked up cheeseburgers, tater tots, pizza, and other junky fare...to the tune of gaining 12 pounds. :(

TODAY: **2 lbs.  Really.

So......I truly do want to embrace this for a lifetime.  I feel horrible!  Swollen, achy, dizzy, headachy, tired, cranky, sleepy, tired, exhausted, sluggish, bloated, sore.

Lord, I cannot do it.  I can't do it.  You can do it for me and through me, but I admit:  I cannot do it.  I CAN do all things THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.  Please strengthen me!  I admit my weakness and plead upon your mercy yet again...

From this day forward, I wish for my goal to be down significantly by my 40th birthday.  Is that goal reasonable?  I hope so!!!  It's a BIG BOLD goal.  I desperately desire to succeed...we'll see what happens!
