I am ever so grateful for everything in my life. I truly, truly am.

The temperature outside actually crept up to near 60!! I went to a church meeting tonight and before I left, I actually turned our heater OFF because I was getting too warm. By the time we got back, however, It had gotten quite chilly so as soon as I came in I turned the heater right back on haha.

I know I’ve said it before but I love my new lifestyle SO MUCH. I get excited over all these healthy foods that I’m eating now. I was looking at my legs today and was just amazed at how far I’ve come. It’s STILL a bit weird to put on my size 10 pants and to see how TINY they look compared to the size 18’s that I was so accustomed to putting on and wearing all the time. I can also remember wearing that same ole size 22 skort for a long time and how tight that was and how my belly hung way over the top…. how embarassed I was because I could never get my outfits “just right” to where I felt comfortable with how I looked. I’m so thankful I had a change of heart to be able to step up and take control of my life and I owe it all to my FAITH. I have my husband to thank for that! Heh. He prayed for me for years and I was finally willing in 2008 to open my heart to religion and a steps toward a whole new, WONDERFUL life that I NEVER want to let go of. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine it any other way now and I don’t want to because I have found my inner happiness and I’m gonna fight each and every day to keep it.

I feel so blessed to have everything I DO have because I know there are so, so, so many out there who have nothing. My hearts go out to them.
