This is my now!

As I travel this journey, I always thought it would  be alone. I've learned that there are more people supporting me than I could have ever imagined. I can't believe how much I have been truly blessed this last month. Heavenly Father has made one of my biggest dreams start to become a reality. Even though I've tried before, I know that this is the right time. As Jordin Sparks says "This is my now"

"There was a time when I packed my dreams away." I have discovered that this is so true. I had always thought that I would never be able to lose weight and I was always putting myself down for the fact I wasn't like everyone else. I always told myself that I will always be this size and that no matter what I tried it wouldn't work. I even thought to myself, I will never get married, I will never have children so on and so forth. However things have for sure changed.

"I am made of more than my yesterdays" I am starting to overcome all of these insecurities  I have had for years. I am still not comfortable in a bathing suit, but as I get smaller I will. I love myself now and I'm not afraid of who I am. I know I'm not the size two model, but that's not how Heavenly Father has made me. He has given me this challenge to take on and I will. I won't psych myself out and say I don't have the motivation, strength or whatever excuse I can find. I know I have this strength.

“He shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people. Alma 7:11
