WoW! A changed Life!

This is so exciting to be able to share with everyone about all of the things that have changed in my life since finding the Weigh Down Workshop! In 2006, after years of struggling with weight, controlling everything and be angry all the time, I was searching online for a fix to my "fat" problem (that was the only problem I really thought I had:)), and rediscovered www.weighdown.com from a class I had taken in 1999 and 2000. The years in between Weigh Down, I was constantly asking my husband if I could join yet AnOTher weight loss program and he would say it was fine, but why didn't I look into Weigh Down again, it was the only thing that had ever worked for me. So I found the website and was so excited to find out that they had online classes, so I could take a class that would work into my schedule and in my home and it would be so simple! Well, it was simple! All that God had asked me to do was to give over the control of it all to Him and Him alone. To love Him first before anything else. "Have no idols before me!" So the journey began. I have currently lost 84 pounds and am still going. The other things, the things that I didn't think were a problem, have been amazing changes too! I'm a much sweeter, loving wife, a more patient and loving mother and more and more in love with God everyday! I love this life and love that God gave me another opportunity to get it right and to obey Him fully! I truly never thought that I would be the person that could "change", a person who could think about someone else and their needs more than myself! Well, as they say "the proof is in the pudding!"
I will let you know about more of the changes as I have time. I'm super excited to have this chance to share this with the world!
