Mary's Journey

My starting weight many years ago was 308. I have to remember how far I have come. I am in this for the long-haul.

I have come to the realization that we become our own worst enemy in the battle to lose weight. How many times have I let a few days of overendulgence cause me to totally lose my courage to go on?

God is for me, so who can be against me?

Hello my Friend,

Wishing you a great week ahead, also want you to know you were being thought of today, keep up the great work, I cheer you on... emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

Hope you enjoy the following poem...

A Thank you prayer

This giving heart, Dear Lord, please bless;
Fill her life with happiness.
For all she’s given, all she’s done,
Natural warmth like gentle sun,
Many generous, selfless deeds,
Lord give to her and meet her needs;
Cover her in Your holy love;
Write her name in heaven above.
