Other than today, I've been going 4 days straight so far! Woo!!
It was rough the past few days though - yesterday was another really discouraging and spirit breaking day as we went shopping in Des Moines. I hate how something that can be so fun with my family turned into me coming out of the dressing room in tears. Apparently the cute dressing room guy was looking at us, but I was so upset I didn't notice him. (That's saying something!)
I HATE those days - they're definitely my motivation for losing weight! Mom texted me, checking to make sure that I wouldn't give up and that the discouragement didn't do me in. Far from! It pushes me harder because I HATE feeling like that! I HATE not feeling right in clothes and I hate not being able to find the right size.
I did a lot of praying. A lot of asking for forgiveness for not taking care of God's temple like I should, for not being a good steward. A lot of asking for certain areas to diminish significantly in my weight loss as well. If God didn't hear my words (which I know He did), He saw my tears.
"19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
