I knew that the missing element was prayer and time with God, and asking for His help. So I prayed about it and the Lord put a friend's name to my attention, Kim M., from N.C. So I obeyed Him and contacted her.
Kim is such a Godly Woman and a lifetime member of Weight Watchers. She also works for Weight Watchers as a leader. I told her my plan to join Weight Watchers and to also include God in this goal of getting fit and feeling better. She was very excited for me and encouraging, but also told me that she had just started a bible study using the book, "How People Change", by Paul Tripp.
Their goal was to be more aware of food and fitness. They also had a goal of doing a 5K together in June. Since our family was planning to visit in June, I asked if I could be part of it. She agreed to include me in the study via e-mails, Skype, etc. and also to try and coordinate the 5K with the group, at the same time I would be visiting.
Only God could have prompted me to call Kim, and knew the exact timing on this study and how much I needed it to succeed at lifetime weight loss and fitness.. How could I think that I could do anything without God's help? Why must I always be reminded of this fact?
So yesterday, April 26, 2011, marked the first day of a new beginning. Feel free to come along this journey with me. I need all the help and encouragement that I can get!
