…diet time, that is.? Oh dear Lord, I stepped on the scales this morning and about passed out.? Now I am 6′ 5″ and stocky, so I can distribute weight pretty well, but I have packed on over 30 pounds in a year.? I knew I had gained some weight, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.? 267 pounds is just ridiculous even for my height and build, but I only have myself to blame.? Poor eating habits and lack of exercise are bad habits I’ve picked up in the past year.
About 2 weeks ago, my preacher nailed me in a message about burning your candle at both ends and destroying our bodies by lack of exercise and poor eating habits.? It’s not God’s fault that I am overweight and out of shape….it’s mine!? It’s up to me to use what God has given me for his glory and that includes my health.? Bro. Darrin doesn’t know it but he was preaching straight to me, so today is the day I begin to turn all of these poor habits around.? I want to be the best reflection of Christ possible and for me personally, I can’t weigh this much and be all that I can be.
The only reason I am posting this is for accountability.? I don’t do so well when it’s just me so I plan on posting a weekly update of my progress, but I appeal to all of you to pray for me while I ‘remodel’ this vessel that God has given me.? I am not foolish enough to think that this will be an easy road, but I want to do all I can to live as long as God allows so that He can get glory from my life.
Thanks for letting me share this with you!
