Day 2...again

I like Day 2 so much better this time! It feels...cleansing.

Today I am sitting at the indoor playground watching my children play and run. Kids are so funny! They make friends easily and seem to never get tired. I want to be just like them.

A grandpa is sitting next to me with his granddaughter. He took her to Build-a-Bear and congratulates the little girl on being such a great mommy at her age. He told me that he became a great grandfather today and beamed about how he loves to spoil his granddaughter. I want to live to see my grandchildren. Lord willing, now I have a better chance of this!

I look around the mall and see so many people who remind me of myself. The woman waiting in line at Burger King, resting on the counter because she's so overweight...waiting for her biggie sized meal. I wish I could talk to her. Would she even listen?

There is a world out there that is trapped. Most of the people who are obese or overweight know it, but what can they do about it? It's not like this is what they wanted for their lives. This isn't how they dreamed they'd look when they grew up. Believe me, I know. But all attempts to change have been wrought with failure.

I want to say, "you can try one more time! What if I can assure you that if you follow this plan you won't fail?!"

But I don't get to have that conversation. Not today. Not with that lady.

I'm passionate about what I do. About helping others. I only wish I could help more people.
