Have you ever been shopping and realized all you want to do is find the sweetest thing possible in the store and take it home with you? Well today for the first time in a long time I didn't have that feeling. I didn't realize until after I left the Wal-Mart and was on my way home that I had not bought anything sweet to eat. This must be how people feel like when they don't have a problem with food.
I know that alot of people might think this is silly or even ridiculous to blog about. But for the first time I just want to be honest with myself, and anyone who reads this who also might have a weight problem.
Today was a good day.

The Beginning
In all my life, I would have never dreamed that I would be sharing this day with possibly the whole world. Here's a little about me, I just turned 30 in February. I don't feel 30 most days. Mostly I just wonder where the time has gone and what made it go by so quickly. I have a wonderful husband, we've been married five years and have two amazing boys.
I called this blog(which is my first), beginning the journey for two reasons. First, I have always been overweight. It is something that I have struggled with all my life. And today I'm beginning the journey to defeat this thing in my life. Second, because I compare my journey with that of Joshua and Caleb in the Bible when they wanted to possess the Promise land. When they came back to report to Moses and the other Israelites what they had found they were the only two to give a good report. The other ten men said that the giants were to many and that "we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in there sight (New King James)". I'm tired of feeling like a grasshopper in the sight of myself and this giant of obesity. I have decided that instead of being like the other ten, I want to be like Joshua and Caleb who said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it(NKJ)". So after struggling all my life with this giant I have decided that today is the day. It's my plan to make this a journal of sorts, cataloging all my struggles and successes. So I invite you to come along with me as I take my first steps in defeating my giant, and living in the Promise land.
