I almost cried! (380.4 pounds... yeah you read it right!)

My main focus this week has been a verse that I may have recited growing up more than any other verse and that verse is 1 Corinthians 10:31 and it says "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."  I know that I am doing this diet to make myself more healthy, but moreover I need to be doing it to the glory of God almighty.  So, this week I have worked really hard on being content.  After gaining weight last week I really have been focused on making sure that I am doing the right things because they are the right things and not because it is really that important how they reflect on the scales.  When I went in to weigh in this morning I really didn't know what to expect, but one thing I did not expect was to lose the 13.4 pounds I lost.  In fact I was so caught off guard I almost cried! 

A lot of you know that I passed my first goal threshold just a few weeks ago when I finally got under the 400 lb. mark.  This week I have passed my second goal threshold.  In 2007 I lost some weight in preparation for getting some life insurance and when I got the life insurance I weighed in at 385 lbs.  I am proud to say friends that I now weigh less than I have in over 4 years!  55 pounds lost in 9 weeks, God is so very good!
