Weight Watchers & Made to Crave....

I'm an all or nothing person and sometimes that is good, but most of the time it isn't. For example this will be like the hundreth time I have tried to lose weight. I have posted several times with starts and then don't post again because I have failed yet again. You see my problem is I think I have to fix everything right away. Even in my relationship with Christ. I will get inspired and then think well if i'm not doing an hour bible study every day and i'm not praying over my kids for an hour a day etc... then I'm just not a good Christian. What the Lord is teaching me right now is to take baby steps. Start out with making sure I do a devotional EVERY day. Don't get caught up in how long but make the committment and do it every day.

So I am applying the same to weight loss. Baby steps. I am going to start by drinking more water.... more physical activity and to help me along I joined Weight Watchers and started the Made to Crave Bible Study at my church 2 weeks ago. I am not going to set a huge goal like being a certain weight by a certain time because then I risk feeling like I have failed, instead if I make these small changes then over time I am going to reach that ultimate goal. What's most important is I make lifestyle changes and not just quick fixes to hurry and lose the weight only to gain it back because I never really changed anything.

Everyone is different and so the weight loss journey is different for each and every one of us, this is just how I feel it will work best for me and what God is teaching me.

I did lose 3.2 my first week of Weight Watchers and I'm excited to see it continue to go down! :-) I'm even learning to love veggies! :-)

So please say a prayer for me as I go on this journey.

Thanks
