In need of kind words/support - long post

It has been a little over a month since I last updated my profile. I have been really busy...and not wanting to face that I have not been taking very good care of myself. I know I should be doing everything in my power to make sure that everything is taken care of. I get really busy with my son being a senior this year and my daughter being a junior. Couple that with the fact that my husband is a firefighter and work a 40 hour week and we are trying to start a catering business. I don't have a lot of time on my hands anymore. I am not complaining this is what I wanted from the begining. It seems as though now that I have the energy to keep up with everyone it never stops. I have not been eating the right foods (bread is evil) and I forget to take my vitamins on some days. I need to get better at getting my protein in. An even though I do alot of stuff everyday I need to exercise on a regular basis. I had even stopped coming by here as much because everyone is doing so great that I didn't want to face how terrible I was doing. I have been restored though. I read Ann's profile, I know what I need to do and now I have the support from her profile to do it. You would think that with all of the fighting with the insurance company and going through this surgery I would not let anything get in my way. Well for me that was easier said than done. I am on the right track now though. I will update more often and I will be in prayer for the Lord to show me when I am not in his Will for my life. I will ask as I always do to keep me in your prayers becuase I always need prayer. Thxs. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

Hi Shannon, After reading your post, I went in and read you profile. What a beautiful profile it is. Anyway, I feel like I know ya a little bit, now. I just wanted to let you know that I said a prayer for you and have faith that you'll keep the drive to continue on this weight loss journey with much success! God Bless you! Shirlene P.S. How do I find Ann's profile?

Hey Shannon, I have thought of you frequently and wondered how you were doing. I am so glad you have returned. I understand what you are going through. Sounds like it is just "life happening" with you. I, too, get lax on taking my vitamins and my protein and I am only 8 weeks post-op. I really need to get a handle on it NOW. God bless you and I am looking forward to your posts again. In His love, Sherri 8 wks post-op, down 50 pounds 251-201 size 22-18

Hi Shannon, I will continue to pray for you. I am two years out and still struggle on a daily basis. It's kinda like my walk with the Lord. Some days and even seasons I blow it so much. But as I look back over the last two years I see how far JESUS has brought me and I know he will not leave me now. Hope this helps. Geri
