By the way, the above comment is from me. Didn’t realize the computer would automatically fill in my name–oops. So I thought I’d clarify since hardly anyone in blogland knows me by my real name!

Oh, the “can’t afford smaller clothes” excuse reared it’s ugly head when I started changing my habits a year ago. I went ahead with the changes anyway, and do you know what God has done? Clothed me! A friend who shrank out of a ton of clothes gave me bags and bags and bags and bags full–more clothes than I’ve ever owned at one time in my whole life! Clothes I could wear then and future clothing. Then some coworkers who were also shrinking gave me clothes that no longer fit them. And ALL of these clothes are nicer than anything I used to choose for myself–I wear a wardrobe of hand-me downs and Salvation Army finds and I’ve never dressed better. Just this week a coworker gave me a bag of stockings–she orders them online and she forgot to change her size since she’s lost weight. A whole bag full of various colors, brand new, and all free.

So that excuse has died for me. Unfortunately, I have several others that moved in to take its place and those I’m still battling. But it’s been such a blessing to watch God provide and bless when I obey Him.

good excuse. Now come up with excuses for NOT eating right or working out! Creativeness goes both ways right!

isn’t that funny…but so so true. There always seems to be an excuse. i am sure i have used every one in the book, but the one that usually gets me in the most trouble is that i love chocolate too much to give it up to get fit!

This is so funny to read (but pretty convincing when I’m telling it to myself!!!) While non-fits make excuses. The fit friends friends whine and workout because they are sooooo fat and out of shape. Hmmmm.
