"The Last Thing I'll Ever Do!"

When my friend first shared with me that he was doing Take Shape for Life I thought to myself, "That is that LAST thing I'll EVER do!"  I thought it was CRAZY!  I saw his little bowl of soup and thought, "I would have to eat that soup AND my right arm...and I'd still be hungry."

Well...that was, what?  About nine months ago? 

It took me about six months of just watching him and his wife lose the weight and be happy doing it.  They loved it.  That was clear.  And they looked amazing!  (They still do, by the way.  Love you guys!) 

I wanted what they had, but I was so full of fear because I had tried so many times to lose weight I had failed each and every time.  I had myself convinced that I was meant to be overweight, that I would need to live the rest of my life uncomfortable and unable to be who I really knew I wanted to be.

And then I did what I never thought I would do.  I took a step of faith, and I made the phone call to Shirley.  I was already convinced when I called her because I had seen the proof of TSFL in my friends.  This works.

And it does work.

And I was right when I said that TSFL is the LAST thing I'll ever do.  Because it is.  The last thing I will ever do. 

There will never be a need to do anything else, because this works.

I'm thankful for friends who were willing to tell me about their journey and who were willing to not take it personally when I didn't get it at first.  Friends who were persistent, but not pushy.  Who showed me by example what TSFL can really do and how God used it to transform them in every possible way.  (Thank you, Friends!  That means everything to me!)

Take Shape for Life is truly the last thing I'll ever do!  Praise God!
