Oh Lord...we Praise you :0)

Apr 18, 2010

Ahhhhhh its Sunday.
I shall board the Slaveship in the morning.

Okay, at my church we do this praise and worship song, and I don't know the title but this is how it goes:
"Oh Lord we praise you. Oh Lord we praise you..."
Verses:
         Higher, higher...higher, higher, higher, higher, higher. Higher, higher....Lift Jesus Higher
         Super, super.....super, super, super, super, super. Super, super, supernatural power
         Lower, lower.....lower, lower, lower, lower, lower. Lower, lower, stomp satan lower.

Okay, so each verse has something your supposed to do with it, the first verse has you lifting your hands to the sky.....check! Consider that done.
The second verse, has you swing your arms in a circle, like a lasso almost.....no problem Lord, I'll lasso for you any day!
The THIRD VERSE, has you stomping satan...with your feet....no problem you say? Well, for some reason, the Praise Team leader always says "Even lower"....awww...anyone smiling now? Because by the time we get to that part of the song, we're damn near squating and trying to stomp. Every Sunday since the beginning of time when they want to do this song, I dread it. Half way in, satan is stomping me lower. My thighs hurt, my knees are cracking, my back is crying, and my heart is usually looking for the nearest pew. With the exception of today, lol. I guess all that elliptical work paid off. Again, another "wow" moment, because I didn't feel like I was going to die 3 minutes into that song....God is awesome, lol.

Everyday I realize something else I can do, or something else I don't have to do, that makes me smile to myself.  This is quite amazing, actually unreal most of the time. I really can't believe this madness.

I know I wasn't posting as often lately, and I have to say its because I felt I had to take a mental break from ObesityHelp.
We all say that every doctor is different. Every doctor does stuff his or her own way, but sometimes I don't think many people in the forums believe that. I say I had 6 shrimps I get 27 comments about how thats horrible. People upset they can't follow a strick 600 calorie a day diet....seriously?!  All of that, all day, can tire a person. Make you feel like your doing something wrong...that's not fair. I was getting ready to pluck my eyeballs out, at least thats what it felt like. Everyone loses weight at a different rate. Some faster than that, and Im cool with that. But I don't like feeling like something is wrong with me, because I'm not losing 3-4 lbs a week. I had my surgery the end of January and I'm down more than 40lbs and down 3-4 dress sizes....seriously, that's hardly a failure, and I refuse to make myself feel weird about not losing more than that. Lets be realistic, would this have been possible any other way? Heavens no! So, I check in the forums every now and then, and try to update my blog whenever the spirit hits me, but I refuse to be suckered in to believing that something is wrong with, because I'm not following another person's doctors plan. Nope. I sure won't . Call me stubborn...my husband does!

Until next time folks!
