Fringe Benifits

Well this is day five of my quest to lose weight and I am beginning to see a pattern emerge.

For a very long time I prayed to God to help me lose this weight. I see now that He arranged things for me so that I would

1. Begin to think about what I was thinking about. The things that made me want to eat.

And

2. Start to change my physical behavior patterns so that I would be up for the challenge.

Lets face it losing weight is hard and when you are tired and feel like garbage because you have been eating garbage it is almost impossible to change.

For the longest time God has been telling me to eat oatmeal for breakfast and salad for lunch. It is something I resisted because I thought Yuck! But now that I am doing that (and exercising) I cannot believe the energy that I have. It is better than energy drink or pill that you can take.

I feel like a teenager.

I know that change is hard but man it is worth it. And while my Journey to health is just beginning I am already reaping the results.
