In our Friday morning Life Group we are reading the book The Principal of the Path by Andy Stanley . As my good friend Cherie wrote on her blog. "Each choice we make from the food we put into our mouths, to the books we read, to how we spend our money has brought us to where we are today. The cool thing is we can change directions at anytime and as a result, change our destination."
When Scott and I met I was 140 lbs and a size 6. Granted I have had 2 more kids since May 19, 2007. With the busyness that is our life with the 3 girls our eating habits took a turn for the unhealthy. I am now 45 heavier and in the double digits for my pants. Most people would be ashamed to reveal this. But I look at it this way, it is what it is. As Dr. Phil says " You can't change what you don't acknowledge." Now I'm not alone in this. As our motto is : We are a team and in this together.
So, we have decided to change our path. We are making a life style change, together. We are beginning the Atkins Diet, together. The key word here is together. Scott has done this twice before with great success. He has attempted it several times in the past 3 years and hasn't been able to keep up with it. So this time we are going to use each other as support as we adjust to changing our eating habits. Life can be tough and we tend to turn to unhealthy things for comfort. Now we are going to be relying on each other and on God as we slim down, increase our energy and make our bodies nice and healthy.
Until next time~
