MACMOM4 - Disappearing Teacher?
An interpretation of Psalm 27 that I find helpful on my low self esteem days.
You, God are my light and salvation. Whom should I fear?
Within your fortress, what can threaten me?
Even when everyone is against me - even myself-
I'd be a fool to fear when you call me friend.
I ask only to live all my days in your house,
sheltered from all that seeks to ravage my soul.
No matter what comes, I will face it, head held high,
No matter my ...

No matter my frailty, you, my God, have chosen me.

I'm a high school English teacher with 40 years of experience. No, I'm not THAT old, I started teaching when I was 3! I've been married to the best husband in the world for 34 years, and we have two grown children as well as a lovely daughter-in-law. My weight has been "creeping up" at an alarming rate. I want to get myself a healthier lifestyle.

Personal Information:
I'm from Seattle. I'm super impressed with Spark People - the site and most of all, the people! I've been "dieting" since I was 8. Now maybe I can just be healthy.
I love my husband and children as well as my students. Even though it's really a lot of work to be a teacher for 40 years, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to do it.
Other Information:
"Get clear on this: being fat is not disgusting. Child abuse is disgusting. Tying up a dog outside all day and night in every kind of weather is disgusting. Homelessness and starvation and weapons of mass destruction are disgusting. Overweight is a state. A situation. An inconvenience certainly. A threat to health in many cases. A sign, perhaps, of self-indulgence or indifference or emotional distress. But not disgusting." - Victoria Moran
