Coach To Lose

Today I got a message back on the Medifast blog thanking me for taking the time to inpsire some one who was feeling down.  This special person (see everyone is special in some way) was feeling that the joureny was getting a bit long.  They where down a bit.  Some of us with a lot of wieght to loose know that it is a daily journey to get away from ”morbidly obese”.  It is a daily journey to get the weight to release. 

When will we be able to eat normally again.  Frankly, I know for myself it will never be like it was.  Sure I won’t be on a diet forever.  However, I don’t ever want to be overweight again.  I don’t want the aches, the lack of energy, the low self esteem, and all the medical challenges that go with it.  I still remember the day when my optician told me that my high blood pressure could result in blind spots on my retina.  I could go blind!  Add to that the other risks associated with diabetes and hypertension.  It was a scary place.

All that said it doesn’t make a long journey any shorter.  I have tremenodus respect for those who have been on this journey so much longer.  So that is why when I see the words of someone that has the courage to face their demons with food and work to lose the weight.  I want to “coach” them with a good word.  I want to lift their spirit and keep them fighting the good fight.  It’s not about money.  Lol I coach for free.  It is about blessing.  One of my favorite books says I set before you blessings and cursings that you would choose life and have it more abundantly. 

Today was one of those days that I received the return blessing by reminding me I do make a difference.  Today was a good day to take the time to remind some one that they could do what was needed to be done, to get where they wanted to go.  Today was a good day to remind some one what they were made of and assist them to see their blessings.  But then again, Isn’t every day a good day for that?

Take the time and spread the love.  For it still has a way of coming back and blessing you.  Good journeys to all that read this today and in the future.
