There is a song I sang in school choir while in the 7th grade. It says..."Food glorious food. Hot Dogs and mustard..." then it lists off several different types of food. This song describes what I have been singing my whole life. I love food! A person is to eat to live, however in times past it has been opposite. I live to eat.
I have it VERY hard to reverse my way of thinking about food, however several things have happened to help me. 1st is the realization that I have been living in sin. It's called gluttony. 2nd my children have had a great affect on me. I see them and at times when they want to play I can't because I'm too winded, too tired, etc. Corban has also asked me embarrassing questions about my size. 3rd Writing this blog and having accountability with you all who follow these blogs. 4th hearing how you are doing in your war on weight. This is encouraging to hear and helps me keep on keeping on. 5th but not least, Holly. She has done a terrific job of helping me stay on track.
So what was it for you. Can you make a list of some things or people that have influenced you to fight in this war. I believe it is good to remember the things and people that had a part in getting us on the right track. It will give encouragement and motivation.
