People always say, "the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." What they forget to tell you is that after that first step, there is still the thousand miles ahead of you, and it still looks just as long and just as arduous.
Well, despite the miles stretching out ahead of me, I am going to take this journey. I want to find my way to my perfect weight and perfect comfort zone. I just don't want to do this alone. I thought that maybe I could find a few friends that might want to take a road trip with me??
If you are interested, I'm taking my first couple of steps today. I don't want to read any more books on how to lose weight, and I am done buying into programs! I will not spend another dime on a weight loss system or purchase another membership to a gym or workshop. I'm doing it differently this time. Being healthy needs to fit into our family budget and maintaining a healthy weight is a responsibility that I need to live in front of my kids.
So, this time, I am going to do this with God's leading. Every day I am going to give this area of my life to the One who has lead me this far. I want to read what He has to say about a huge area of my life that is completely out of control. I want to find favor in His eyes as I learn how to eat and be healthy in a way that glorifies my King instead of looking to adhere to some standard that was never handed to me through Him.
I want to share this journey with whomever will want to come with me. I will share what I learn as I walk this with Jesus and hopefully gain some wisdom that I can share with my girls, my friends, and cling to grace as He helps me overcome strongholds that have kept me finding comfort and peace in calories instead of Him.
"Jesus said to them, 'My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work.'" John 4:34
