Are you like me struggling with weight, out of shape and just plain sick of it? I'm tired of all the commercials that bombard me constantly with empty promises of quick weight loss cures. Images of shapely figures showing tight flesh with smiling faces dancing across my screen to show me what I can look like if I just try this new and improved product! Yeah, right! I'm done with all the lies, the deception they use to separate me from my hard earned dollar, No more! Time to declare WAR!
I feel the first and one of the most important steps that has helped me this far in my journey was to realize that I alone am the one that is responsible for my present weight condition, no one else; Not McDonald's, not Ben & Jerry's, not Sara Lee, nope, not nobody but me. After that painful conclusion the next step was, what was I going to do about it? I know that after years of treating my body like a playground that they're wouldn't be any such thing as a "quick fix!" I needed physical, mental & spiritual reconditioning to ensure successful lifelong results.
The next step which in my book was just as important as the first one, was to seek help. I needed that push to get me out of my self inflicted rut I was in and get me going in the right direction. I sought the professional expertise of a personal trainer. My trainer was absolutely wonderful and after our initial appointment I knew immediately that I wanted her as my personal trainer. The excitement and admiration quickly wore off our first few visits and turned into, "Am I actually paying you to put me through this agony & torture!!!" She pushed me and took me farther than I thought I could go and helped me over the no motivation hurdle. Melody Powell who was my personal trainer has agreed to share some of her knowledge and expertise with the rest of us. Come back soon and read her column.
More importantly than physical well-being I plugged into an awesome and incredible local church here in good ole' Jonesboro, Georgia called Church of The Harvest International under the phenomenal leadership of Pastor Rob & Melissa Jones to strengthen my spiritual well-being. Philippians 1:6 the apostle Paul tells me: "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." If you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior than nothing else matters until you do! I urge you to connect with Jesus on a personal and intimate level and let His love into your heart today! My personal testimony of how good the Lord has been to me will be coming soon as well. I'll ask Pastor Rob to contribute to our WAR as well!
