When I started this weight loss journey, I thought I was doing it for me. I had all my reasons in a row like little ducks in a fair shooting game. Over these months since I started here, I have come to realize a serious truth. I did it half heartedly for me. I was really doing it to get attention from my husband. Not just attention but I felt he saw me as less of a person, so I had to lose weight to get his respect. It has taken me all this time to see that I don't need his "respect" for my physical appearance nor for my health. I have to take my life into my own hands and give it all up to God. I have to have enough respect for this body God gave me to take better care of it and nourish it properly. If I try to please someone else, when they hurt me, I just wind up eating and thus gaining back weight. So with God's guidance and help, I have a better mind set and will take better care of me.
