Who's calling names now?

Those that didn't know me as a child, don't realize that I had a struggle with weight. It started as a child and went into my early twentys. I was called names and made fun of. My mom always encouraged me and never made me feel bad about myself. She always said "It's just baby fat". I was never taught how to eat healthy. I was free to eat whatever I wanted. It was in my early 20s that I joined Weight Watchers and began to learn about portion sizes. Up until couple of years ago, I still saw the little chubby girl in the mirror.

I started working out about 17 years ago. I began to learn what I enjoyed and God began to grow a passion inside of me for exercise and health. As I learn more and more about myeslf and health, I apply it one day at a time. God is good to not overwhelm us but to give us what we need one day at the time.

Today, at 40 years old, I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I am honored that Father has chosen me to love on others and encourage them right where they are in their journey with health. When Jesus is our I AM we can move the mountain that stands between us and our health.

I don't encourage and discuss health because I've always been thin and loved it. I speak from the heart of a little chubby girl who was made fun of, called names and never felt as pretty as the girl next to me because of my weight. I am free from all of those lies today and want to help women become free from this stuggle that holds so many back.
