My sister in Christ, Janelle Keith, lost 132 pounds through God's power.
In the article, Janelle wrote the following that resonated with me:
"I can remember a time when I had given up. I was sitting in the third seat, the third row on a church pew.
I had just suffered through another
weight loss contest with my former co-host on a Christian Radio station. We were both captains of a listener-driven contest called Total Fitness Challenge.
You remember those silly attempts at the diet resolutions?
You might remember that re-commit every January and then by month's end you have lost your resolve to stick with anything diet related. This contest was no different, except it was.
Let me explain. Before I signed up to be a captain, all I can remember were the failures of my past. You see, once again I had ridden too long on the up-and-down rollercoaster ride of loss and gain.
I was absolutely devasted when I weighed (before the contest started) and I had not only gained what I had previously lost but gained another 5 pounds.
I was wearing, along with huge guilt, some of Aunt Bill's Christmas fudge on my thighs and feeling very ashamed of
myself.
Ever been there?"
Yes, Janelle - I have!
That is why I am so thankful to God that He put a comma is our stories when we tried to put a period!
Check out Janelle's article and I know you will receive inspiration to finish well in your own weight loss journey.
