I don't know about y'all, but birthday are big for me. There is something about turning older that brings a smile and sometimes a tear to my face. This year however, was extra special. I am slowly overcoming my obesity. There. I said it. I'm obese. I never wanted to admit it, but I've come to realize that I had only been hurting myself by ignoring what has obviously been there... holding me back. I'm about 30 something pounds lighter. I feel 100 lbs lighter! Ha! It's just so hard not to feel so accomplished when so many wonderful things have happened. I can seriously now jog... hike... take stairs... walk for long periods, and simply enjoy myself much more. It's truly such a blessing. I haven't felt this content in a long time! And yesterday when the lady at the store had to bring me a smaller size pant I really really really wanted to cry. I couldn't for the life of me believe how much I had accomplished. I'm still hesitant. This has to be normal. To still feel chubby on the inside. It's just that my weight has come off so quickly that my mind has yet to grasp it. Ahhh... I'm just glad to be where I'm at. Thank you God... you are great! :)
