The scale!!!

Oh yes! That most sacred, but yet haunting device that all those overweight love or dread! The scale! If you find your self on a weight loss adventure do you find yourself weighing everyday? Every week? Or like me, sometimes every 10 minutes! It has been a wonderful encouragement and accountability for me, but at the same time if your not careful it can work against you! As we start this journey together lets look at the scale as a friend, not a foe. A way to remind us every day, or like me every 10 minutes, to stay the course and give God glory for every pound lost!

In the beginning

Here we go! Let's start at the beginning! I have been over weight as long as I can honestly remember. Since my childhood my weight has brought me a lot of struggle and heartache. I remember wanting to be skinny but I believed the lie I was just big boned. It was really hard to believe that I would ever shed this weight, but I knew in my heart it was possible! Fast forward to 2007! The year that I married my wonderful wife, the year I took my first trip to New York City, and the year I weighed in at my heaviest poundage! 310 pounds! This was a high point in my life, but a low for my physically health. This was the beginning of the end for my weight loss battle!

Less of me, more of Him- Intro

Well hello! Chris here! Welcome to my first blog! Not sure what I'm doing yet but I'm sure as we spend some more time together I will get the hang of this! This blog is to first and foremost give glory to Jesus Christ! John 3:30 says "He must increase, but I must decrease." This is my heart and the focus for this whole blog! I want to use this page to share my weight lose journey with you and a few things that God has shown me this year. I'm looking forward to what God may do with this page and what God may do this year! Thanks for joining me on this journey!
