so there's this companion of mine who doesn't know when to leave.
these last 15 pounds.
i'm not sure where they are hiding, but they sure aren't on my arms.
they aren't on my feet either.
maybe around my middle somewhere.
anyway. this winter i'm wondering if my body wanted to hibernate just a little bit...these little 15 suckers stuck around to keep my body warm.
but these little guys aren't welcome anymore. i've called in back up. my faithful friend rachelle :) and the people who have surrounded me throughout this process.
at first it was a bit embarrassing to admit that i couldn't make these pounds budge. i'd lose 4 pounds one week, gain 2 the next week. i'd roll my eyes and go to my chair in weight watchers.
it was a battle between me and the scale.
and that's never how i wanted to live...and i choose not to live that way. it is a battle of true freedom and finding and fighting for health.
so. if you think about it, pray for me as i continue to go deep into what it means to find freedom in how i honor my body.
here are some pictures from my bday a year ago...and this year's bday.
enjoy.

i'm so proud of you...even of your trunk ain't junky anymore. ; )
i'm impressed with how you've sought to go through this drastic physical change while at the same time not neglecting to process emotionally and spiritually. it's cool to see where each of us finds God meeting us with love and discipline and grace.
