My story is a very familiar one. I was average weight most of my life until I got pregnant at nineteen and ate like I was carrying twins. I continued to put on weight with every passing year until I no longer recognized myself. I am now a 35yr. old mother of a sixteen year old daughter and an eleven year old son and I can only blame myself for the weight. I have dealt with problems with my self-image for years and now I am ready to not only love the me on the inside, but love the me on the outside as well.
I believe in order to receive deliverance from an issue we struggle with, we first have to acknowledge the problem and stop ignoring it and believing we can deal with it on our own. I currently weigh 250 pounds! The most I have ever weighed in my life. I will no longer be defeated by the number. It will no longer hold me hostage and keep me from obtaining the sweet things in life God has in store for me. I believe wls will be a journey for me to honestly look at my issues and release the pain, fear, and guilt I have held onto for so many years. Some of my family believe that I am taking the easy way out but I feel I am making a courageous step acknowledging that I need help and willing to start the journey to becoming a new me.
