Wrapping

Today is a new day! I'm thankful that each day is new and full of surprises. Sometimes I don't like the surprise that the scale gives me but it's still a surprise.

As I was getting ready to run errands today, I got out of the shower dried off and did the normal stuff. I stopped for a second when I saw myself in the mirror. My hair was pulled back in a pony tail(cause I girl can't wash her hair everyday:) and I had a towel wrapped around me. To my surprise I had a regular towel wrapped around me. I had to do a happy dance right there in my bathroom.

For so long I have carried this extra weight. I really felt like it was my battle scar from having children. I never had an easy pregnancy and ended up gaining tons of weight. I have tried several times to get healthy but life always got in the way. At least until I asked God to help me with my weight loss.

Today as I did my happy dance in the bathroom I was so thankful to God. I knew that I had done some hard work and I still have hard work ahead of me but without God I wouldn't be this far.

When you are the 'fat' girl and you start to lose all those extra layers of stuff your outside and inside change. Being able to wrap myself in a regular towel is part of my outside change. Loving me right where I am and thanking God for helping me have success is part of the inside change.

As Christmas approaches remember to ask God into all areas of your life. As I open the door of my heart wider He amazes me each day with new things. All things are possible with God the Father. What are you going to ask for help with?
