Of Epitaphs and Weigh In

I was thinking about tombstones and epitaphs on tombstones.  Yes, I had to look up how to spell that word.  Epitaph: an inscription on or at a tomb or a grave in memory of the one buried there .  I  am pretty sure mine would read She lost a lot of weight...a lot of times.  Sad but true.  I want so much for this to be the last time and I am wrapping my mind around the fact that this "last time" will need to last until I am perfected in heaven.  I will need to keep doing this for the rest. of. my. life.  This isn't just some fly by night journey that I can do away with once I reach "that goal," but rather a life change.  I cannot go back to old habits and expect to stay at "that goal."  The only way to succeed is to Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! I Chronicles 16:11

All that being said, here is my weigh in for this week.  I was really hoping for some show of progress on the scale today.  I was not expecting this when I entered my current weight on My Fitness Pal:  "Ruth lost 3 lbs since her last weigh-in! Weighfaithful's lost 32 lbs so far."  I was so sad this past week (see previous post) and knew I needed to just get back into a rigid routine of planning out the days meals the night before.  Structure is my friend and helps me thrive. I needed this visual show of progress made.
