So, I was going to try and only post one time per day on this. However, too many things happen that I need to talk about. This is not just for readers, this is for me, to remind me of the things that I need to work on and deal with.

I was eating supper tonight and sitting in the chair opposite the way I usually sit (Jim was not home). On the side of the room I was facing, there is a picture of our family several years ago when I was at the peak of my weight loss adventure--there have been many. I look at that picture and wonder where that person ended up. I know that weight does not determine who you are, but in my case, I think my weight is a direct result of an undisciplined life that has gotten a bit out of control. That picture and a chat on Facebook conversation I just had with a former co-worker (who, by the way, hardly ever chats with me on FB) made me feel that I really need to get a grip on things. She was telling me about her weight loss journey. She felt that God told her to fast for a friend of hers in Guatemala. She said he told her that fasting for her meant giving up the "extras". She really encouraged me to take a journey based on grace instead of will power. She said she spends a lot of time exercising and uses that time to pray for people. She said she would start to pray for me.

So, if you are reading this, please pray for me and this path I need to follow. It is not only about the weight loss, but about seeking God in my life. It is about spending time in quietness with him and less time with my dearly beloved computer (mostly wasting time).

I will keep you posted about how I am doing, but this is a posting for me to remember what it is I really need to use this blog for.

Thanks for listening.
