So today I should receive my box of products from Optavia. It is a program that, if done correctly, will help me lose this weight. I am doing the 5 and 1 version which entails me eating 5 of the “fuelings” (bars, shakes, etc.) and then one meal a day.
I am not starting this program with the right attitude. All I have thought about since I ordered the box was what I will have to give up. How my friendships will be affected due to not sharing meals with people. (Yes, I know I can still eat with them I will just need to bring my own fueling item – it will not be the same). Also, I know losing weight will help me live instead of just exist like I’m currently doing but if I can’t enjoy foods and things I like then how is that living?
I have GOT to change my attitude or this will be a failure like all the times before. I have gone 54 years without following through on something. I think the biggest thing I have done was check TimeHop (I am currently on day 1,956).
So anyway, here are my current stats (hopefully I will update you all on numbers going down):
Enter Start Date: 4/26/2022
Neck: 15.75
Chest: 60
Right Arm: 21.75
Left Arm: 21.5
Waist: 57.25
Hips: 75.25
Right Thigh: 38.75
Left Thigh: 39.5
Right Calf: 21.75
Left Calf: 23.75
Weight: 438.2
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this plan. Thank you for the opportunity to trust you to give me the strength to be successful. Help me to embrace this plan and get healthy. Help me to trust that you have so much more in store for me. Help me to not focus on the foods and events that I will have to put aside but to focus on the end goal – to be able to glorify you and show others what you can do in our lives if we would just let you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
