I figured it out!


I figured out how to put pics up!! So this is me, a while ago, but I still look the same, in all my plus size glory! Actually, this is one of the few pictures of me I actually like. But it's only fair to show you what I miss looking like, so here are some pictures of me over the years....

Another good one...

And finally, the one titled "Skinny Amy"



This right here is my goal...180!!!

You know, some I know lost their husband today in a tragic car accident. It breaks my heart. She's younger than I am and has two small children. As I was praying today I realized something: Life is too short, too fleeting to stress myself out about looking amazing. Don't get me wrong, I want to lose weight, but it can't be something I obsess over.

I want to spend my time in the Word.

I want to spend my time worshiping God.

I want to spend my time with my husband and family so they know they are so very important to me.

I will exercise and work on my eating habits, but this "addiction" will not have me, and neither will the "obsession" of trying to be something I used to.

Tonight I will lie down in bed next to my wonderful husband and I will weep for this young widow, and I will hold Jake tight and thank God that I still have him.

Tonight I will be thankful for all that I have.

"Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." - James 4:14
