This is my journey to lose weight and get healthy.
I want to lose half of myself. I have dieted and exercised before but I never really stuck to anything. The commitment was not there. Then I woke up one day and decided “I’m done. I don’t wanna play anymore.” So I ordered a few things and made some decisions. First, I saw a informercial about some hypnosis cds (Think and Lose) that can help you to change your eating habits. “Ok,” I thought, “when I get the money, I’m ordering that.” This, of course, came after my success with hypnosis to treat anxiety, insomnia and other problems I had. Then I paid for a year’s membership at Curves, ordered a pair of Curves shoes, a case of Special K bars, ordered a scale, the Curves book and music cd, filled my refrigerator with fresh fruit and veggies, chicken and lean cuts of meat. Next, I will take some before photos of me and update them as I go along.
I receive the Curves music cd yesterday, which I love, and I went to my first session at Curves yesterday. They weighed and measured me (joy). Just now, the mailman delivered my hypnosis cds, my scale and my book. First thing I did was weigh myself.
Starting weight: 291.4
BMI: 51.7%
Now I’m off to browse through my book and begin my hypnosis program.
Dear God,
Thank You for Your saving grace and mercy. Lord, I have, with Your healing touch, survived cancer, abuse, homelessness, mental illness and poor decisions. You have been there with me through it all. I thank You Lord and I come today to recognize that You are so worthy of all of the honor. You are magnificent and almighty. There is none like You.
Father, I seek Your help today in my quest to become a healthier human being. I know that You have a plan for my life and Father, I ask that You will use me in a way that will bring glory to You. Father, this journey will be hard, I know. Without You, I have no hope of succeeding. So I pray today that You will strengthen me and guide me along the way. I need You, Lord, in all that I do. Thank You for the provisions, tools and resources to do this Father. Thank You Lord for being there. Thank You for loving me. In the name of Your only Son Who died for me, Jesus Christ. Amen.
