EXCERPT from todays blog post... A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my jeans were fitting differently. And not in a good way. The jeans that had previously required a belt in order to stay in place were now staying in place quite nicely all by themselves. Not good. If there is one thing my over-the-years battle with weight has taught me, its that if you want to stop a run-away-train from running away, you have to do something. You have to act. And act quickly. Because the train. will. run. away. Acting is passing McDonalds when Ive waited too long to eat and all I want are those doggone salty fries. Acting is ordering water with lemon when Im out to eat even when I know good and well the establishment offers a suberb, freshly-brewed sweet tea. Acting is choosing not to slather butter on my bread, pushing the bread basket away from my end of the table, or asking the server not to bring it it all. Acting is not just about my food life either. If I hope for a marriage made in heaven. I have to act. If I hope for no regrets in my motherhood journey, I have to act. If I hope for a life filled with passionate and purposeful pursuits, I have to act. If I hope to be a confident woman, I have to act. Bottom line?... My actions matter. Everything thing I put in my mouth today will affect the jean size that I wear five years from now. Everything I do today affects my my every tomorrow. My hopes for tomorrow must show up in my present day actions attitudes. This is simply the truth... Read the whole post on the blog. Pray for the hopes, dreams, and actions or others or for your own all weekend... ChrystalsChronicles(dot)com
