By now, most of you know that I am on a weight loss journey. Definitely not easy...but something I have been struggling with my whole life. Finally, I am doing something about it.
I have been doing monthly photos since February and will continue to do them until I hit my goal. That being said, I still do NOT like what I look like now. But I like it much better than before. I don't think I have ever put this out as publicly and openly, like I am now. I've always been embarrassed, but it's all on me. I put myself here...and by God's strength, mercy, and grace...I will get myself where I need to be and I will be showing you a MUCH better photo in the future.
My sister told me that she is proud of me for "putting it all out there". It made me realize that I CAN encourage others. For too long, I have tried to hide it with clothes and hiding BEHIND the camera. But this is ME. This is REAL. And I'm changing who I am. Not just the outside...but inside as well.
Putting it all out there is NOT just about me. It's about helping others to also become the best they can be. Showing that it can be done...no matter what satan or this world tries to tell you! If people do not respect you and encourage you...LET THEM GO! Get new people!
Love YOURSELF at any size...BUT...make the decision to GET HEALTHY!
You CAN do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!! I know I CAN and WILL!
