well, there's sooo many reasons why i need to compete in this wight-loss challenge. for starters, i know that i HAVE to have accountability. i've tried and failed too many times on my own. i've tried weight watchers (which is great, by the way) and did pretty well. the plan is good, but weighing in, in front of someone, who is gonna write it down, makes a BIG difference. secondly, i'm just feelin it in my spirit, that it's urgent for me to be physically fit. i feel so opressed and imprisoned in my body. that's NOT from the Lord. i know that. through a series of bad food choices, and lack of activity, i've let myself get into bad shape. now granted, i've NEVER,EVER been "thin", but i've always been atheletic. my body had been sedintary for so long, that my joints were beginning to be sore from sleeping! i use past tense because i've been working out again for two weeks, and feel great. even if there are no real physical signs of evidence, the confidence i have because of my efforts are enough to keep me going. another reason for wanting to compete in this competition is for my family. i want to set a good example for both my husband and my kids. they are watching everything i do. i sure don't want it to be sitting on my bum. i want to be around to enjoy them, and be able to play with them. i don't want to have to hesitate about going to the swimming pool. i mean really, who wants to torture themselves like that? ....so in a nutshell, my body needs to match my spirit, i need accountabilty and my family needs this from me.
