I can hardly believe I'm back in this place of being so much overweight. I think I have truly lost count of the times I've done a weight loss program and lost a lot of weight. My problem.......keeping it off!!
August 30, 2009....I turned 39 years old. My weight being the highest I have ever been (not pregnant) at 235#, I knew I didn't want to turn 40 a year later being overweight!! Five days after my birthday, I stepped into the Quick Weight Loss Center inquiring about a program I have done before and managed to lose 45# on, but didn't "finish" and ended up gaining the weight back (no thanks to a hysterectomy to top it off).
What's different this time? I'm older....and I hope a little wiser. I didn't join the program the day I went. I spent time thinking and praying about it. Finally, today, September 15, 2009....I decided it was time to make that change and make it PERMANENT!!!!
So now...I officially start the QWLC program on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 with a commitment to lose 60# I have committed to getting to 175# because I know in the past I was rather comfortable at that weight. However, I can always lose more should I feel my body can handle it. So I'll see how I feel at that time and go from there. Right now....the long term goal is 175#!!
Although I am using the QWLC program and weigh-ins and the counselors at the center....there is one other who I will turn to for the MOST support needed through this journey and that is God!
Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is---His good, perfect and pleasing will. Romans 12:2
