Okay its Friday sunny and I cant wait to get off work. First thing after work is to get the nails done. Yep! Definitely get the nails done, then its off to the hair supply place to get some beautification products. Yep, time to get the hair done too! Ive lost 75 pounds and I'm completely psyched! Whats interesting to me is how differently people treat you when you lose weight, not just men but women too. Its funny because I'm the same person I was 75 pounds ago, or maybe just a little different if I want to be honest about it. I definitely take more pride in the way I dress. That may be because I have more cute things to choose from. Either way, I'm feeling kind of cute today and I think that's okay as long as we don't go overboard in thinking that we are better than others. I am pretty well grounded in that area. Having been thin then been plump :) now on my way back to thin or at least to a more healthy weight, I have seen both sides. I have experienced people's view of me on both sides of the fence and I can't now way look down on others with a weight problem.
What I can say is that I feel a lot better. I can cross my legs, wear regular sized clothing. Yep! It feels pretty good and even better is when I am in the service of the Lord (singing, teaching or preaching) I can serve without feeling like my heart is going to jump out of my chest or sweating profusely. I think that is one of the best results of all.
I think its okay to feel good about yourself... honestly I think God wants us to feel good about ourselves because when we feel good about ourselves, we feel really good about God and our relationship with Him and with others. Because we were created in His image (imago dei), to feel good about ourselves is to feel good about God. Image of God denotes the symbolic relationship between God and humanity. So when we have a healthy perspective of ourselves, for the child of God it promotes a healthier view of who we are in Christ, what we were meant to do and accomplish on the earth and become more in tuned with the purposes of God. So I thank God for getting healthy and maybe, just maybe I am a little different now.
