Weight has been an issue for me my entire adult life. A few years ago I found myself at 225 pounds - entirely overweight and unhappy with it. I made a commitment to diet and exercise and took off 40 pounds. Since then my good eating habits have deteriorated, I'm no longer exercising and (predictably) I've put 15 of those 40 pounds back on. At 200 pounds, It's not as bad as it was but it's not where I want to be and the truth is, I never lost as much as I should have. So today, 11/30/09 I'm starting over! Here's my goal - I want to lose 30 pounds. I know I can do it. All it takes is a little discipline in my eating habits and a commitment to get up and go to the gym every morning for an hour. I need the discipline. I can do this! I have a spiritual conviction about it. 3 John 2 says, "Beloved I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. If it is God's wish that I be in health, I should wish the same! I should work toward that objective. I regret that I haven't been. Today that changes!
