Credit where Credit is due

Its been awhile since I have acknowledged why I do what I do.  There is nothing that I have accomplished (from the half I did last year [don't ask me to go run one of those right now, couldn't do it], or the bread I bake every week) that I have not done completely and utterly by the strength of myself alone.  I fully and completely acknowledge that I am nothing without first my brother Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father.  There is nothing I could have done, especially this weightloss deal, without Them.  There have been countless days where I have knelt down at night and day praying for the strength to count those calories the next day, or for the strength to stay away from that cookie who just cannot stop calling my name.  There is no way I could have done any of this without the Savior.  No way.  If I did not believe that Christ believed that I could become something more than what I am, or was, than I would not have done what i have accomplished so far.  Life is for learning.  Life is for doing great things, becoming the best you can become.  That's not possible without help.  Jesus Christ is my rock.  He is my example.  He is my strength to change.  Without his sacrifice and resurrection, there would be little ways that I could change and become a better person.  I am what I am  because of Him.

Credit is also due to my husband.  I am what I am because of days when he has told me that I can do something, when I did not believe I could.  He has gone through a complete diet change-hardly with any complaining attached to it!  Seriously, no complaining.  He is my greatest taste tester!  I am so lucky that he is so supportive!  I am what I am because of him. 

My family has been ultra supportive.  Because they believe that I can do anything, I believe I can too.

And, my friends: The support I receive from my friends, you among others, is so wonderful.  Thank you for helping me through this weightloss/ healthy journey. 

I am what I am because of everyone else.  I have only started this journey of health and am so excited to continue!  Thanks for your support everyone!  Know that I am there for you as well and you can do it!
