When I heard this a few weeks ago it hit me HARD. I feel like this will be a fight against Satan. A fight for me to reclaim the temple in Jesus' name that I have been given to maintain. A fight to live and eat as God designed me to. A fight to say, "Get behind me! Hit the road. See ya sucker." This vessel I'm in now ... it could not have been God's dream for me. I'm using a very distinct tool to reclaim it. Every ounce, every wow moment, every victory will be glory to Him. Even with surgery I wouldn't get very far without Him. So I scream from the top of my lungs ...
"This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me."*
This week has been rough. But I know now that I can do hard things. 1000 calories a day is very, very hard. (I think I get a little more than that even after my stomach is smaller!) But telling my kids I couldn't take them to the zoo in Atlanta because my knee hurt too bad ... that was one of the hardest things of all. I can't do that again. I won't. So bring it on!

Be blessed and be blessings y'all!
