I'm ready

Yesterday was great.  My children are awesome and Robert took me to Bismarck to spend some time with his mom and dad.  Before we went there, though, we went to eat at Denny's.  Truly I ate a lot less than I would have had I not started putting my weight problem under God's grace instead of under my condemnation--thanks to Pastor Prince.  I truly believe that this is the answer to solving any of our problems.

HOWEVER, when I washed my hands in the restroom, I took a good look at myself in the mirror--and went right back to self-condemnation.  I stopped exercising in frustration with no real improvements about 5 months ago.  Then 2 months ago I began working on the hypothyroidism and I sat back to see how that would change things.  UGH!  Did you realize that one symptom of hypothyroidism is that you despise exercise because it doesn't help to solve the problem. 

Anyway, this was just on Facebook and it inspired me to start THINKING about getting back to daily exercise.  Please pray for me--better yet--please write and share how exercise is benefiting you.  I need some inspiration!

I'm willing to do my part.  Tonight, though, we're having Robert's birthday party and we're cooking all of his favorite foods.  Maybe I'll start tomorrow?????????????????????????

Let's start supporting each other in this, folks, by stopping looking down on other people who have weight problems.  It's just so hard to start to work on this problem with self-contempt fueling the eating!

OH HELP!
