WHO YOU ARE COMES OUT IN THE FIGHT...
Jul 11, 2009
While in church the other day I received a powerful message. The speaker shared this quote and I can't get it out of my head, "WHO YOU ARE COMES OUT IN THE FIGHT." I perceived the message to mean, based on the example she provided, that whenever you are going through something your true being, who you are, will come out in your struggle. If you are going through a financial struggle do you develop resources? If you are struggling with a relationship do you weigh your options and think or do you automatically react? When you have weight loss surgery and your're at that point when you can finally eat solid foods do you choose wisely? I relate that quote to my weight loss surgery. I have been so afraid when I hear stories of people gaining their weight back. I think, "Oh no, that could be me. I better hold onto my clothes. I better not get over confident. What if I have wasted money and time on this surgery?" But, I take the speaker's words and I receive it...who I am comes out in the fight. This tool is my blessing. Weight loss will be a constant struggle to me, that will always be obvious. How I handle the struggle tells who I am. As the years go by I can choose to let go, give up...or I can choose to stick with the plan and stay healthy. My determination, or lack of, will tell who I am. Am I person who wants this? Or am I a person who gives up? Years from now I want to look at this post and know "who I am came out in the fight!"
