All about the Vision

Yesterday I wrote about the vision that I had of what life will be like living as a healthy, fit person. After I wrote I spent some time reading through old posts. Back in 2008-09 I lost 40 pounds and felt unconquerable for months. Re-reading those posts brought such a great sense of "I can do this." As I continued to read into the parts about how I started falling apart I came to this post that emphasizes what I was saying about vision.

It really is all about my vision of the future. Without that vision I don't know what choice is right or wrong at any given moment. We've all heard the saying that if you don't know where you're going it doesn't matter what road you take.

I am scared to death to recommit to this losing battle but I am choosing to do it anyway. As I type this I know this is one of those defining moments. (...insert five minute pause...) Okay. Here I go.

I choose to reengage and fight the fight. I choose to be a healthier, happier, more fit and in control person. I choose to take care of myself and to make the choices that make me stronger.

I choose to follow that vision and make it mine. As always, my strength comes through my Savior Jesus Christ. As I make the right choices He strengthens me to see them through. I trust in Him and I will allow Him to work in me and change me from the inside out so that I will be able to look around me one day and find that I am actually living that life that I dreamed about.

Friends, I am back.
I'm losing it.
