This morning I was sitting at my desk, and getting ready to dig into my workload, and suddenly I was sitting there thinking about children, and building towers. Have you ever tried to build a tower with a child? It is serious business, and any threat to that tower will be quickly demolished (in my experiece, through screaming, crying, and tattling).
I then got to thinking about weightloss, and how every pound lost, every milestone reached toward a healthy lifestyle is another block on my tower. I am going to be very honest here, and tell you that I have been all to guilty of letting anything push my tower to the ground, in fact I have deliberately pushed it down myself in defeat, and frustration.
I have always been super duper sensitive if anyone would every insinuate that I had some weight to lose. I just didn't want to hear it. Deep down I was yelling "help me", but I was just way to scared. I am overweight, and I need to lose a considerable amount of weight, and I like to think that admitting that is the start of my tower!
I can do this, and I have faith that strength from God, and encouragement from others will pull me through. I cannot wait to see results, but I am also looking forward to feeling healthy, and not defeated for once. I am going to guard this tower of mine, and looking forward to seeing everyone's tower grow!
