Just read this on the WW message board posted by my buddy, Happythang19: “I've accepted that at the end of the day, losing weight is a responsibility, not an option for me.”
Stick a fork in me, I am done!! I am so done with this fat suit that I have worn for “weigh” too many years.
Done.
Finished.
I will CHOOSE to do something about it NOW.
2010 brought a year of losing almost 70 pounds and gaining some precious mobility and going off BP meds, just to name a few accomplishments.
2011 brought a year of tough changes in my personal life and work life. These changes ended up derailing me more than I’d like to admit. That derailment has resulted in gaining back 40+ pounds.
The above quote has just hit me squarely between the eyes. I’ve been saying that quitting is not an option and this is true--I cannot quit. So, now I must add the aspect that losing weight is my responsibility.
Well, DUH!!! Okay, I KNOW it is my responsibility to lose my weight. But, I have been slack at accepting the working out of that responsibility. I have allowed things around me, things that I could not control, to derail me.
2012 will be a year of forward progress down the scale and up the mobility trail.
Do I hear me????? DONE with this limited life. Yes, finances may and will limit what I can do that I’d like to do. HOWEVER, I can choose not to be limited by my weight.
The choice is mine as well as the responsibility!! I have been making too many wrong choices during 2011. I can choose to change that trend. I am choosing to be done with this fat. Done, I say DONE with this limited life. It is my responsibility and I am choosing to accept that responsibility.
Hupomeno Defined: Greek, verb -- meno, "to abide," is rendered "to endure" in the KJV of John 6:27 and 1 Pet. 1:25 (RV, "abideth"); Heb. 10:34, KJV, "enduring (substance)," RV, "abiding."; hupomeno, a strengthened form of meno, denotes "to abide under, to bear up courageously" (under suffering), Matt. 10:22; 24:13; Mark 13:13; Rom. 12:12, translated "patient"; 1 Cor. 13:7; 2 Tim. 2:10,12 (KJV, "suffer"); Heb. 10:32; 12:2-3,7; Jas. 1:12; 5:11; 1 Pet. 2:20, "ye shall take it patiently." For me personally, it means when going through trials and tribulations, I choose to bear up courageously under the watchful, loving care of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
