It is an amazing journey when we do learn to forgive ourselves and realize our own potential. You can do this. The beginning of the rest of your life is beginning RIGHT NOW and the only thing that holds us back in ourselves. <br /><br />Thanks for your comments and kind words. Best of luck to you and God Bless. Cool that we both live in Oregon too!!<br /><br />~MargeneMom to the Fourth Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091089683550035826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913783848796329099.post-82445077355099467752011-01-30T02:15:05.518-07:002011-01-30T02:15:05.518-07:00You are AMAZING, Margene!

Your journey is definitely one that I know will be encouraging for so many people (I am one of the first in line). <br /><br />I just started blogging my journey (again) after re-gaining most of the weight I had taken off! I'm tired of living in this body that is not healthy. I feel weak. I love when you said, "If you don't like your life, then it's up to YOU to CHANGE IT." And, that's what I want to do so desperately. <br /><br />I have put my blog to private as I go through some emotions on my own of forgiving myself in gaining back the weight I had lost, but I hope to be able to share with others soon and have you join me and encourage me on my journey. <br /><br />P.S. I did not realize that you live in Oregon. I do, as well...just 30 minutes south of Portland.<br /><br />Blessings to you and your family!Heidihttp://wwbeliever.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913783848796329099.post-18315915725978902252011-01-09T16:30:28.391-07:002011-01-09T16:30:28.391-07:00Hi, I found you through Sarah's site. Praising...Hi, I found you through Sarah's site. Praising God I did. I literally burst into tears when I saw your before and after picture. Today has been a difficult day for me. I feel so discouraged and like "it's never going to happen." <br /><br />I'm 32, a state-side missionary in and out of country through the year, weight somewhere between 239 & 241 depending on what time of day... I started Weight Watchers in Decemeber and have lost about 6lbs. I also started the Couch to 5k program. I'm discouraged with the loss right now, which sounds ridiculous when I type this. I'm not sure if it's the enemy or my flesh and years of habitual negative thinking of myself that I'm struggling today. Reading your post really uplifted my spirits... I hope and pray God will continue to take me through this journey of weight-loss and bring healing and freedom in my life. I want to do this for His glory and so I can serve Him more fully and serve others in His name in a healthier and easier way. (Being overweight and flying long flights, climbing mountains, treking through the bush - not easy)... Anyway. thanks again and I hope to keep reading through your blog. I saw your on a different system, which I can't do but I'm still grateful to read your testimony. Thanks for your prayers. Praying for you all and eager to hear the blessing God gave through your brother! :)Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021964306203413741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913783848796329099.post-26486325331362446382011-01-06T09:05:04.050-07:002011-01-06T09:05:04.050-07:00WOW!
