Worst. Thing. Ever.

I'm sure most of you have seen the tv show The Biggest Loser.  If you have, then you know how at the very beginning of the season, one of the most dramatic times is the initial starting weigh in.  It's a real tear fest every time.  

If I had my choice, I would not step foot on a scale.  Ever.  However, since I have had so many doctor's appointments lately, "the big reveal" has been unavoidable.  I also don't usually let pictures of myself make it public.  So in this post I'm going to kick two fears in the teeth at the same time.

I said "no shame" in my last post, but yet the very thought of telling you how much I weigh terrifies and embarrasses me.  I figured out what was actually at the root of my fear.  You know what it was?  It was that people would think less of me if they knew.  I fear the eyebrows going up and the "wow" that may shortly follow your new found knowledge.  That's it.  What I realize now though is that if you think less of me for my weight then I don't need your approval anyway.  No offense.

So time to put my money where my mouth is.  First fear - the picture.  That's me up there in the blue shirt.  That was taken about a month ago.  Second fear - I currently weigh 370 lbs.

OK...that's done.  I don't feel liberated or relieved yet.  Let's hope that I don't have sharer's remorse in the morning.

Okay, happy you got thru it. Rhonda, friends DON'T care! Friends see you everyday and treasure pictures of YOU! Anyone whose eyebrows raise, you don't really want to know them, trust me. People who have opinions that are not godly won't ever treat others right or love correctly. I am so happy for you...but I was happy for you before this brave decision.

I am proud of you for facing your fears because I know you're not alone. You're taking steps with God supporting you and He will CONTINUE to do great things with you. I have no doubts about the truth of that statement.

One tip Take photos NOW front, back, side. Do it in shorts & tank top or sports bra. Trust me, you will want to see the changes. Also do measurements. There will be times that the weight loss might slow but you still lose inches.. Take your photos & measurements every month. Seeing the progress is a great motivator.

I'm excited for you to face these fears bc I know that doing so will free you. But your heart for those around you, your humble, loving attitude, and your wonderful sense of humor will always outweigh the numbers on the scale. Those who know ANYTHING about you, have been blessed by knowing you. Those who judge you are the ones who are sorely missing out on being able to say, "See that crazy, funny, lovable, godly lady?? I KNOW HER!!" :D

Rhonda, our lesson tonight with (Jeremy Joy) taught us that our weaknesses are to make us stronger, your admitted weakness has made me stronger, you are inspiring others with your strength, as we ALL have many weaknesses, my prayers are with you, through Christ all things are possible! Love d

When it hits you that it is just a number and does not fix or hinder the problem then you have it licked. Good for you. I do hope you feel liberated in the morning
