To all my friends, who like myself, underestimate the strength of your body, reconsider. Regardless of your weight, height, age, ability, illnesses, etc, one fact holds true: YOU ARE SO MUCH STRONGER THAN YOU THINK!As I jogged this morning, burning 329 calories, I thought to myself, I would have bet my right arm that I would have never been able to do this, especially at over 200 pounds. I am doing it, my body is so much stronger than I ever imagined it could be. It is as if I am peeling off layers of an onion and with each layer I find new strength and abilities I never dreamed this fat girl possessed. I thank God and give Him the credit for this, for He is my creator.
This new me, started 230 pounds ago at 30 second jogs that were nearly impossible. Sometimes, even today, my legs cramp, my lungs don't want to expand and I am tired to the point that as I run, I scream (audibly) "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THRU CHRIST" . . . I am not sure what the neighbors think?!? I pray before each exercise. I pray for God's touch on my body so that it may be used in service for Him. There are times when the only thing that keeps me going is my mantra, " I can run because of Him". My body is transforming ever so slowly. I am becoming spiritually awakened by this new adventure.
I want to encourage those of you who feel frustrated today . . . don't give up! Always, remember that inside of you is a very strong person waiting to be revealed in Him. I am living proof of this. Fat Girl is a runner :-)
God Bless!
