Three Years

Three years since I started this blog, almost to the date.

Three years I've been learning and journaling and fretting and fussing and praying and crying and sweating and juicing and eating and fasting and nursing and losing and gaining and birthing and testing and injecting and reading and watching the Lord do a work.

Three years and today I am down exactly 50 pounds from where I started.  It doesn't take most people three years to lose that amount of weight, but I spent way more than three years gaining way more than that. 

Truth is, I've lost 43 pounds of that 50 in just the last 5 months.  Truth is, I spent 2.5 years working at it with other methods and lost about 20 pounds.  Truth is, I nursed a baby, grew another baby, and nursed that second baby all during those three years. 

This isn't your typical weight-loss adventure.

I'm taking stock today on how far I've come these past three years.  I may have started out slow with a lot of bumps and stumbling. But, all the while I was learning, growing, scales of sin and habits of addiction being peeled away.  Every small step has led to this big leap to health and freedom from those areas that had me in bondage before.

Shedding 50 pounds doesn't hold a candle to shedding the chains of sin that kept me there!
