Hi,
Just thought I would introduce myself. I'm a stay at home mum to 3 girls, a 10yo at school and a 3yo and 1 yo who keep me very busy! I joined Weight Watchers last week and it seems to be a good program. A friend of mine, who is also attending WW, gave me the First Place devotional, which I try to read every day.
I live in Perth, Western Australia, and at present there is only one FP group in my state, and that is an hours drive from where I live. So I will continue with WW and supplement it with some of the FP resources to help me with the spiritual aspects of weight loss.
I know that God is what has been missing from my efforts to lose weight. I have a lot of knowledge about how to lose weight- what to eat, what not to eat, how to exercise etc. My problem has been that I haven't been able to implement it consistently. Every other time I have tried to lose weight I have been relying on my own strength, motivation and will power- and it hasn't gotten me very far! This time I absolutely know that it is going to be His strength empowering me that is going to cause me to be victorious.
