This is going to be a really short post, but I decided I would take a minute and share something I found a little earlier this week. As I was browsing Pinterest for things to help me get ready for surgery (such as grocery list and bariatric-friendly recipes), I found a blog post of a woman who had been struggling with her weight and her realization that being fit was a way to honor God and her husband. I really enjoyed reading it and it has inspired me to be better as I set goals for myself and my health. I support everything she says in this post. Here's the link:
What Does Fitness Have to Do With God?
Whatever your goals are in life, I believe that finding a deeper reason within ourselves to keep going is the most effective method out there. There are a lot of people that can decide to do something and automatically keep going without thinking much about it, but I know that I am not one of those people. Would I like to be smaller than I currently am? Yes. Is that enough to keep me going? Not quite. What truly motivates me is my love for my Heavenly Father, my husband, and my future children. I want to be there to see my children get married and have their own children. I want to live a long, full life and grow old with my sweetheart. I want to be able to help build God's kingdom by being healthy enough to fulfill my calling (which is especially important now in the Jr Nursery!). There are many things I want to do with my life and that is what keeps me going each and every day. There are going to be days when you want things more or less in life than others, but that's okay. Remember who you want to become and your amazing potential and things will get easier. You are outstanding!
