As I sit here watching the Biggest Loser with my wife, I am amazed at the transformations these individuals have achieved in their weight loss journey. It is inspiring and at times heart wrenching to see the change in these individuals lives and see what they have gone through to get there. Truly I must say that I am inspired. Although, I often get a sense of inspiration when I watch The Biggest Loser. Uttering out of lips are the words, "I wanna do that to". But how? Where do I find the fortitude in me to work through the pain? Where do I find the will to tell myself, "You are not hungry, you are bored"?
I am not getting any younger and my health is badly compromised. So my question is; Am I just going to be content with the way I am and die a slow death, or do I just let go of ALL the fears and apprehensions that cripple?
The Bible says that He has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of courage and self control. As a minister of the gospel, I should trust more in what that word means and finally conquer that fear that disables me. A change needs to happen. There is so much more that I want to do and achieve, but above all; I want to have more time with my loved ones. To see my children and my grandchildren grow. Therefore, I have decided that the time has come to change my life.
I have made all the changes in my spiritual life and strengthened my personal relationship with God, but now the time has come to change ME. I need this more than anything. I am so tired of being in pain, I am so tired of being tired, I am so tired of not wearing what I want to wear, and above all I am tired of being afraid. So my friends, I am hoping that when we re-visit this next year, I will be about 100 Pounds lighter.
Help me pray for my success.

I pray that we both are noticeable lighter BUT most importantly healthy in mind, body and spirit. Let's grab onto what God has in store for us with both hands!
Love you!
I am with you all the way, Friend! Let me know what support you need and I will be there. You need a slow walk around the block, call me. You need to txt someone when you are bored and want to eat, txt me. You need someone to make you healthy food, ask Susan lol! Just kidding. I will come and cook for you anytime. Whatever you need, I (and David) will give it to you in a heartbeat!
I am so amazed when people are placed in your life and suddenly become vital parts of your life. Just like family. Susan, I love you with ALL my heart, soul and life. Just to imagine that only 5 years ago I had no idea who you were. And Erin, only a short time ago I had no idea who you were either and you and David have become so special in my life. I love you both very much. I pray that our friendship shall endure the test of time. Thank you so much for all your support and especially your friendship.
