People have asked me over and over "How much weight do you have to lose?" "What is your goal weight?" I realize that these are important questions. It is important to set goals for ourselves to stretch us and give us incentive However...this journey, unlike my attempts in the past is not driven by a specific weight goal. One of the things that set this journey apart from past failures was that I only wanted to be healthy. No specific weight or size. No unattainable expectations this time. Only to be healthy; ready to live a life free of limitations caused by excess baggage and bad choices.
Today as I read about the attitude we should have for our bodily temple I realized that my thoughts on not setting a final weight/ size goes right along with the fact that God knows where he is taking me. I highly doubt that at the finish line of my journey I will have small thighs. I'm pretty sure that despite a massive loss of weight I will still have hanging skin. Though I would love for Him to deliver me from this leftover mess I will accept myself right where He takes me. He made me, He knew me before I was born. I trust Him to deliver me to His acceptable goal weight/size.
