the fat girl challenge

I'm really having issues with the Thin Within program. The weight is just not coming off [quick enough]. I agree that I need to find healing; to find the "real" reasons why I overeat. I know that is truth. But I really want to do more in the "physical", so to speak, while I work on the "spiritual/emotional" side.

Speaking of the Y... They are doing this "Lose to Win" thing. I've been thinking about joining the challenge. Oh, it scares me to death. To think of putting myself out there for the world to see. OK, just for the YMCA world to see, but still. What if I'm the biggest person there? What if the rest of the "overweight" bunch are those who are trying to loose the "last ten pounds"? I guess, I'd win the contest. But, still. STILL!

The deadline to join the challenge is March 23rd. It costs $65. We could afford it, if we wanted to afford it. The details are vague. The flyer states that there are "prizes, incentives, meal ideas, nutrition tips, group meetings, etc." Big sigh from the fat girl.

What do you think? Oh, I know what you're going to say. You guys are all on the same note. "YOU CAN DO IT, FAT GIRL!" The fat girls smiles. Thanks, guys. Your positive comments are, well positively encouraging.

Well I guess you did do it because I read your Not Me's first. I think that is great...and you can do it. I need to take a dose of my own medicine too lol! I hope this weight loss challenge gives you some encouragement and what you need to stick with losing weight. I cant wait to get some updates.

You can do it!!! You don't even want to know what weight loss plan I am on. :x I talked to my doctor about it, and he told me that it's perfectly healthy for those that are significantly overweight. When I tell people what I am doing they look at me and tell me how unhealthy it is...yada yada.....

If you are curious feel free to email me at jpfamily08@gmail.com

I think its a good idea to join. Dont worry what people are thinking about you, getting others that need to lose the weight with you doing it is always good and can help too!

You CAN do it...We believe in you! I haven't been doing so well with my diet this past week either and it bugs me that I have zero willpower (probably why I was an addict to begin with haha) I do try to walk every night after work and I will be doing that tonight as well...I have one of those excercise balls however since I am not very shall we say co-ordinated (I am blonde) I fell off of the dame thing 3 times the first time I used it... I am such a dork sometimes! I am pulling for you!!!

Just remember, Jesus already loves and accepts you for who you are, so instead of worrying about what other people will think.... just remind yourself that the only approval you need is your Lord's, and he has already given it!
