Addictive Behavior
This is
the status I posted on my Weight Watcher’s Blog this morning--"Feeling great! Seeing the numbers go down on the scale is
addictive!"
I have been
overweight most of my adult life. There! I said it. I feel better already!
- Is it my heredity? That may play a factor. I come from "large" families. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a bevy of other health issues have plagued my family (on both sides) for years.
- Is it my health? Possibly. I do have some thyroid issues that have hindered my efforts in the past.
- Is it my age? Hey! Now you've gone to meddling! :) It's true that when the big 4-0 rolls around (as it did for me this time last year), the metabolism starts to slow down.
- Is it my lifestyle? Church activities, soccer games, cheerleading practice, L-I-F-E. All of these contribute to the busyness of us. It's easier, and let's face it, cheaper (monetarily), to pull through the drive-thru and grab something from the Dollar Menu. (I have justified not eating a salad, by saying that I couldn't safely drive and eat it.)
The truth is . . .
my own personal choices have gotten me into this condition.
And my own personal
choice is what's going to get me out of it!
I am
CHOOSING to eat right.
I am
CHOOSING to say no to the wrong kinds of food.
I am
CHOOSING to exercise 4-5 times per week.
But the beauty of this choice is that I don’t have to do it alone.
But the beauty of this choice is that I don’t have to do it alone.
I am CHOOSING
to do what the Bible says in Psalm 105 and I am “seek(ing) the
LORD, and his strength.”
I am CHOOSING to quote Philippians 4:13 regularly. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
You see, I
don’t have to do this alone.
And I won’t.

Yum!
The BEST coffee candy. EVER. I promise. It comes from Brazil. And I have several lovely friends who live there. Breanna brought me some from her trip home at Christmas. I love her!
