Fun Fall Day with Sweet Friends!
I love fall! I love Halloween! I love my sweet friends, the Latta's (even though they cheer for "that other team"!) We're getting ready to enjoy a fun day with them here in Foley, just 5 minutes from the beautiful Gulf Coast! It makes my heart so happy to be here! Looking forward to a great day and I'll post pics later. Oh, and one last thing...WAR EAGLE!!!

The journey is over...
to being fat, that is. I've been on that journey for more than 15 years and guess what...I succeeded. I'm there. I made it to fat. I've eaten what I wanted, when I wanted, and haven't made myself stick to any healthy eating or exercising plan. I'm 5'1", tall and the last time I checked, I weighed almost 180 lbs. which is more than my hubby weighs.
Who wants to weigh more than her husband? For the past 15 years, my hubby has watched the love of his life change from being a beautiful, vibrant gal, to an overweight, not-so-vibrant woman. I want him to be able to pick me up. I want to wear his t-shirts. I want to have a picture made with him and not hate the way I look. I want to go out in public with him and not be embarrassed, knowing that people think we "don't look like we go together". Hubby loves me no matter what, and to him, I'm still beautiful.
The truth is, I'm not happy with myself at all. Getting dressed each day is miserable because I hate my clothes. I'm miserable because I love to shop, but I don't really buy stuff for myself anymore, because I know that no matter what Stacey and Clinton say, NOTHING really looks good on me. I'm miserable because I FEEL HORRIBLE most of the time. I'm always tired, and my back and feet ache continually. On top of that, I realized just last week that my leg muscles have atrophied from lack of exercise.
Another truth is that I am not treating my body as a temple for the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is my Savior. He lives in me. He died for my ugly sin, so I might inherit His kingdom some day. The bible is clear:
1 Corinthians 6:19–20
19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
I have a lot of work on a long road ahead. It's scary, but I know it's necessary, and I'm hopeful that I can find that vibrant, energetic gal again. Although, this time around, she has some wrinkles and a tiny bit of wisdom that she didn't have before.
I'm ready to bring my skinny back.
