Slimdown Saturday

So I came upon the blog of a gal who is looking for some company on her weightloss journey - just so happens I am traveling that road as well. I thought I would join her. I am keeping this on a separate blog because I really don't want to advertise this venture to everyone I know. Granted they may stumble upon this but then so be it; I am just not putting it out there to those who know me that it is here. (Still too much pride I guess)

I don't have a huge amount of weight to lose but still, enough that it feels like a burden to me. Having dealt with a severe eating disorder most of my life I struggle with my body image and I struggle with not falling into that same mindset and those same strongholds.

This time I ask for God's guidance to help me and to strengthen me; I know I can't do it on my own and I need Him to strengthen me. As I press into Him, my focus will change. I want to keep my focus on God as I go through this and perhaps with a little company and motiation, this burden shall pass.

I am on the music team at our church and it can be physically demanding and I need to get myself into a place where I am fit enough that I can serve God to the best of my ability wherever and however He needs me.

What I have been doing so far:

We have wiifit and I have been doing that for the last two weeks as well as trying to be more aware of what I eat. At this point, I am not certain what my weight is at but I will find out soon enough. I am not sure if I am brave enough to post it or if I am even at a place where my pride will allow me to post it. I do have pride that needs to be stripped off; I know it!

There you have it step one.
