So my sister
introduced me to the phrase “Onederland.” Apparently when someone weighs over
200 pounds but then loses enough weight to be back in the one hundreds, they
enter the magical place called ONEDERLAND. I first learned of this “place”
right after I had completed my 30 days and was down 15 pounds. I was still 21
pounds away from Onederland. Well yesterday on “Weigh-In Wednesday,” the scale
made it official- 198.2 pounds! Let me tell you, Onederland is pretty
WONDERFUL! Although, I might be more excited that I am fitting into size 14
pants. I still can’t believe all of the positive changes in my life that have
happened in such a short amount of time.
For years I have
struggled with being overweight. I prayed many times for God’s help in making
more of HIM in my life and less of food. I knew that food was too important to
me and brought me more excitement and comfort than it should. I was made for so
much more than food. I knew I was not setting a good example of self control or
of being a steward of what God had given me. At the same time, everybody has to
eat. And God did give us food as a wonderful delicious gift. So it was much too
easy to just keep eating like I was. What an answer to prayer that now I enjoy
the gift of food without letting it be more to me than it should be. I am also
very thankful to pass this new and improved view of eating onto my 3 girls and
my boy.
I love this
picture! Welcome to Onederland! Enjoy your STAY!
What freedom I have in knowing
that I am not going to ever leave Onederland. The cleanse system I am using has
been such a blessing with such great results. I love how doable it is and how
much I am enjoying the journey. What started as a 30 day thing, has become a
welcomed and appreciated lifestyle.
Here’s to losing
the next and final 37 pounds! Half way there! No going back!
