I thank God that I finally put a stop to this madness. My motivation was my dad. This past Christmas he straight up told me "Bebe you are fat but you still have a shape!" That's love because he said it so gently and in private so know one was there to laugh at me. I changed my mindset from that point on. If my dad can battle colon cancer, I can battle this FAT!

I thank God that I'm down 25 pounds. I've been skinny ALL my life and started to gain weight when I met my darling husband who loves Mexican food. Well, when you are determined to WAIT for your wedding nite to KNOW each other, it creates stress and we both fed that stress with food and lots of it. This behavior carried over into the marriage when the stress of trying to conceive replaced the stress of waiting. My story is when I surrendered ALL to Jesus and put my trust in HIM, I no longer had to use food for my comfort. Trust me when we first get saved we say we surrender all, but it's not until we are faced with difficult times that we realize that we only surrendered some. I look to Jesus instead of tamales or tortillas or buffalo wings and look at the results.

UPDATE! I hit the 50 pound weight loss mark! My dad passed way on August 8 and I'm blessed to have spend his last 2 weeks on earth with him. Still going with the weight loss. Can't give up now. losing 15 more pounds sounds so much better than the initial 65 pounds I set out to lose in January. God is faithful. I've come so far. Let's do this!
