Getting rid of it! I think it's time. Don't you?

When I was heavy I used to sometimes think it was just my "destiny" to be fat. It was who I was supposed to be and that there probably wasn't much I could do about it so I may as well accept it and be fat and happy. What absolutely CRAZY thinking that was and I'm sure it was being fed to me by the devil.

One thing that made me REALLY sit back and think was one day at my yearly check up I told the Dr. ...I said, "I just can't seem to lose weight!" "I walk and walk and walk and I stay the same!"...she answered with this...sooo simple yet it hit me...she said, "Carla, are you watching what you eat?". WHAT??? You mean I can't just work all the fat off?? LOL..I certainly knew better, but didn't really accept the fact that it was going to take more...well I continued my wallowing in food (even though I truly thought I didn't eat that much...WRONG) and doing my WATP tapes and staying the same....I guess anyway..I wasn't about to step on the scale that thing made me mad and told the bitter truth of how truly out of control and heavy I was.

Then that lil' voice in the back of my head kept telling me..Carla, you can do this! Stop giving up on yourself...stop saying you're destined to be fat, stop whining that it's hard...stop thinking it's in your genes...stop saying you're happy fat!!!!!! Because you TRULY aren't!!! Then I finally made my decision I was ready to change..I was sick of that fat and all the excuses that go along with it. I commited to myself to change and I did it.

 Are you telling yourself you're destined to be fat...there's no use in trying? Well let me know if you're ready to quit wallowing in fat and excuses...because if you REALLY REALLY REALLY are honest with yourself you'll know that's all they are...EXCUSES! The devil will supply you with sooo many and you'll start believing them yourself. However, there's someone out there that totally believes in you and He's there to support you and lift you up if you'll let Him! You have to do the work and you have to kick those excuses out of your head every time they try to enter. You are NOT destined to be fat.....you might have always been fat....but you don't always have to be!!!
