Not just for me:)

March 4th, 2010 by Terah

So I was thinking today as I got home from picking my boy up from school that this getting health is not just for me but for my son too! He is 5 years old now and everything he eats is because I have given it to him or I have allowed him to have it! What a reality check this is for me!! He always wants any kind of noodles and fried foods and loves some ice cream. Today I had him order grilled chicken and green beans and water:) He was not happy at all but when he started eating he loved it and then I took him to the park, we walked the track together! I’m so thankful that God has opened my eyes because I now know that this weight loss is not just for me but it’s helping me be a good role model for my baby boy God gave me!

I completely understand what you are going through. As long as your family has known me (from Zion in Nashville), they have known the over weight me like everyone else. I do not want that to be a word that is associated with me any longer. After having several health issues arise & trying to do something about it, I too have come to realize that it’s a pattern that needs to stop with me. I do not need to pass it onto my children. It really hit home for me when my little girl begged for a chip. Now I am buying more fruit and I am trying to retrain my children as I retrain myself. With God I know all things are possible and I know I must rely on Him to give me my strength. I pray we all can accomplish our goal and become the individuals He can use to bring others to the realization that we need a healthier lifestyle in America.
