Fearfully and wonderfully made

Posted on September 13, 2016

So I fell in love with a health and wellness company in Dec (2015) and have felt guilty that despite the tools at my fingertips I have gained a lot of weight (because I didn't use them). I am finally back on track have multiple dietbets going right now but I want this to be a "finally countdown". I so very much want to be done with this rollercoaster. I have a big desire to show what these products can do (I'm not here to sell anything so I'll keep the name to myself). I am a full week into tracking every bite I eat and using my meal replacement shakes and it is already working.

My problem has always been the 2-4 week mark, I just stumble or completely leap off the wagon and forget all the hard work and changes I've made along the way. It's a serious problem that I can't seem to quite figure out. This time will be different because I not only will lose money I don't have, but if I don't stick with it but I will be stealing from myself and my husband. He is on board 100% and I need to stop letting myself and him down with my promises. I can stumble but I must not fall. Not this time!

Blessings!

Stephanie - - Hey, I love your honesty. I love your commitment to yourself. I am done with DB challenges for a while. I am going to start lifting weights more, so I know it will slow down the scale - but in a good way. If you want encouragement, or accountability along the way, let me know and I can get you my email. I'd love to be part of your support team if you want that. I could always use the support as well. Keep plugging. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. . .

Great! Will send you an email from bhowellco@gmail.com. I, like you, love the support of people who know the struggle. If you don't struggle with weight, exercise, etc like 95 percent of my friends, then you just don't get it. Glad we connected through DB!

build in cheat meals it really helps... NOT cheat DAYS... cheat meals.... say once you have worked out 25 times or once you have been good 25 days in a row or a certain date or a certain number on the scale... you can do this, if I can you can!

I have been praying - how are you doing with the 2-4 week mark. Are you there yet? If so, how's it going?

I'm doing well! I am a little over half way to my goal and I'm feeling pretty good so far! Thank you for the prayers I can feel them :)
