Last night was weigh in for First place. I have lost a total of 65 pounds! I am so excited! I am still on track and pushing towards the prize. This has been an amazing journey. I have had my ups and downs, however I know that the Lord has been with me the whole time. I know that seeing Sandy and having the accountability to her as well as our first place group has been a huge part of this journey. I now understand why it is so important to share with one another our struggles as well as out successes. It really helps us to keep in line.
Last night we all voted on who had been the most encouraging in our First Place group and I was the one selected. I have never felt so honored. I am grateful that I have been able to encourage people as well as be encouraged. It's funny how I think.. Over the past few weeks when I spoke at our group, I thought to myself "get off your soap box, this is not all about you." I had fears that others were thinking that I did not know what I was talking about. I am not at my goal and have been struggling to get to my goal for so long. It is nice to know that others actually value our experiences and are not thinking the aweful thoughts that we think about ourselves.
More to come... Need to get my kids ready for school
