Roger just asked me to post my recent weight loss or 'wait lost' to you guys.....It has been an awesome journey filled with new boyfriends, new women friends who really stood by me thru thick and thin- no pun intended, honestly- and after being 'fluffy' 75% of my life, going to the gym almost every day faithfully for a whole year and only losing three measly, stupid pounds, it has been a joyous overflowing of happiness and the certainty that God really does love us and answer our most personal and hidden painful prayer to finally slay the giant of overeating, cravings and late evening sweet snacking for emotional medication!
When my children were in small and large pampers, my ex husband left me for a millionairess over here in Hawaii, my dad's best friend and business partner's daughter. Well, she was thinner, which didnt help too much in the self esteem department. He also said, my ex, to my father and friends, the reason he left me was that i was fat. Nice huh? At that time i was about 212. Hey, that wasn't fat...I got up to 328 in sixteen years just to prove him right. But really, besides emptying my savings of 12,000 dollars and leaving me penniless with two beautiful daughters and a mortgage(bitterness, party of one, your table is ready!;) I soothed my cute little self with oreos at night, hagen daas ice cream bars after i put my babies to bed. After all..i deserved a little happiness too didnt i?
Well, fast forward to the girls going to college and me seeing that i really wanted this thing called ,"a life" so i began my journey and quest into the land of obesity and researched it to 'cure' myself.
I prayed like a dog, although i do have a dog and have never found him praying, and i saw Roger on tv and bam! i was to try the last life plan i would ever have to try again.
I have subsequently had about twenty other of my girlfriends, and their hubbys, three ex boyfriends and my own daughters all on Rogers life plan. Why do i call it that? Because, it is not a die-t it is a life-plan. I wanted to find my life..in christ, in love and in being happy with myself.
Unfortunately, now i have men trouble, but , hey, thats kinda cool when ya think about it? Where as i had little or none. go figure? Anyway..i am down 38 pounds as of today and i am NOT stopping unless Jesus comes back or something else as important happens. i have been serious on the life plan about 8 or 9 months, but I AM HAPPIEST I HAVE EVER BEEN BECAUSE I FOUND FREEDOM FROM EATING OR BEING CONTROLLED BY FOOD THANK GOD PRAISE GOD!!! The only reason i can say my weight now, in front of all of you ,my peers, is that i have learned with foreveryoung's talks, that my weight isnt me. I am me, and my weight is a result of not loving myself enough to not believe the lies from the Enemy that i was worthless and didnt deserve to be thin. I am enclosing a pic to tori of what i look like now, and i will send another at my half way mark and then im going to write my book about me and the 167 pounds i didnt want.(and that's not my ex's weight either) Also, as a Gourmet peronal chef & caterer, i was thinking to write a cookbook with more recipes to go along with our fearless leaders recipes??)How about a song? I'm a composer / singer too..Christian contemporary/soft rock. Are you sick of me yet??
God Bless you dear brother Roger!!!. you rock and ALL of your beautiful friends here rock, because you loved me, and love me, right where i am at.... And that my friends, is a 'God thing'. All the praise goes to our father...Jesus in heaven and his awesome father! aloha from Oahu..The chelebellehawaii...
