The Biggest Looser Contest with Myself!!
Well I have just decided that I need to do more journaling on my blog. I was inspired by a friend of mine who has stage four lung cancer (never smoked a day in her life) and is going through all kinds of cancer treatments. She has a beautiful blog. It is called postiveoutlook. There was just a Miles for Melanie 5K this morning so that many could help support her treatment and let her know how much the community cares. Her blog of thanks, prayer, and beautiful thoughts made me feel so wonderful and blessed that I thought I would try to do the same in my blog. It's great to put my pictures up of my loved ones and our activities, but I want to remember more spiritual experiences and count my blessings as I go so that I won't forget how blessed I am and how much I have to be thankful for. So many are suffering different hardships and adversity but doing it in a very gracious and humble way. My heart goes out to so many who struggle and suffer quietly. I am a complainer and any little injury or inconvenience gets me down. I need to stop this and be stronger in my resolve to live my life well and make the best of what comes my way. Right now my sister Liz's kidney is dieing. Well I would say it is almost pretty much dead and she is suffering with high blood pressure and lots of nasty medicine. She is so tired everyday and she is waiting patiently for me to loose enough weight so that we can schedule the transplant surgery. So I am going to put my success and failure on my blog so that I can be accountable to someone. I know that no one really reads this so it will probably just be me. Anywho, I am goint to post a before picture and my weight everyday. It will be hard because I weigh a ton and don't look to good in a sports bra and shorts. (the biggest looser outfit!!) But the truth should be told. I will need positive feed back so if anyone is out there then please feel free to comment, give advice, encouragement, or humor if I am crying! Here goes

Mom, you rock! What a great idea. I can't wait to read all about your ups and downs, and have the chance to be here cheering you on. You're an inspiration to me! I look up to you in more ways then you know, and have tried to change so many things that I didn't like about myself because of you. We are very blessed, it's so easy to forget that. But we are! And I'm blessed to have you for a mom. You can do this! Keep us posted (I read!) Love you always :)
Edie, I read your blog and I am very impressed. I will keep reading and watching your progress. Maybe I will even join in the progress.
You can do it! Mom, you are one of the strongest women I know. I'm glad that you are going to start this as a journal because I love reading about your thoughts, testimony, and accomplishments. You are amazing!
What a good idea to blog about your success with weight loss. I swear, accountability is the only thing that works for me. I promise to read and comment often. Know that you will always have support from me. :) Because I'll be doing it along with you. I love you Mom!!!!
