A Plea for Accountability (weightloss)

I need some encouragement.

Some how, over the past few months I have become fine with the way I look and my weight. I'm still SUPER unhealthy, and I just don't know how to get motivated.

So I'm asking you, my friends and accountability partners, please help me. Please don't take me out to eat. Please don't offer me bad food. If I ask, "Should I?" DON'T TELL ME I DESERVE IT! Please, don't tell me that.

Now, don't get me wrong, I haven't been doing horribly. I've kept most of the weight I lost last semester off but...well I need to lose a lot more.

Here's my first goal for this semester. 15lbs by Thanksgiving. It's do-able and I even have a countdown on my phone to help motivate me. 15lbs in 64 days. Help keep me accountable, please.

I was reading some of my past posts (by reading I mean the titles as I was editing some things) and saw one that stood out to me "Glorifying God with Every Pound." That kind of kicked me in the teeth, ya know? It's not good. It's not okay. I need to eat better. I need to exercise more. I need to worship God with my heart, mind, soul, AND body. I'm going to try this: waking up at 6am everyday during the week (Monday through Friday) and go for a walk or a bike or the gym. Anything really, just something to get me going. I think I can do it, but I need more self-discipline and I know God is just laughing and saying, "Well here's and idea, but you are the one with the final say on whether you do it or not. I love you." I can do this, but not alone.

I already have one BEAUTIFUL and WONDERFUL girlfriend helping me out. Walking every Monday together and when I feel bad about eating something or want to eat something bad, she's got my back with encouragement.

I'm too young to have all the problems I do. Back problems, knee problems, ankle problems, migraines, asthma, and other things. I seriously sound like a 90 year old woman! Even my chiropractor (who I wish I didn't have to go to) says I sound like an old woman. Not cool.

So, let's get this show on the road!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and He does, so I can.
