So good So far

I am probably sounding redundant yet again. I guess I am caught in a vicious cycle that I am trying to break free of. But I am proud of the last three day that I have had. I have tried to be in constant motion. I have watched what I am eating. Making sure I am trying to count calories. I need to improve on my accuracy. With that said, I am grateful for what I have accomplished. I am grateful for the small steps. I am learning that you do have to choose what you want more, the instant gratification, or the more meaningful life changing experience. I choose the life change.

For me, and my beliefs, my end goal is to become more like God. I cannot become like Him unless I am willing to submit myself to His will, the trial and tests that I must face. So as I look at my battle before me, I am confident. Confident, that I am striving to show courage. Confident that I can overcome with the help of the Savior, and confident because I have already be shown that this process does and will work if I do the work.

Last night I watched the Biggest Loser, and was struck by a few moments in the show. I need to let you know what I see for myself.

I see in me, a person that is beautiful, healthy, confident and radiant. I see in me a person that is successful, patient, and loving. I see in me, hope, faith, and charity. I see a person that can become a fulfiller of goals and dreams. I see a person who has reached the desires of her heart.

I may not lose this weight quickly, but I will be far different in a year than I am now. And I hope that difference is in faith, and hope and success. When you do right, everything seems to feel right. When you hope, the hope raises you to a new perspective. When you love, you feel more love. When you work, you accomplish your dreams.
