My name is Laura and I have two beautiful daughters, Jordan and Hailey, and an amazing husband, Jason. I have struggled with weight issues since the birth of Jordan in 2005. I no longer want to be defined by the way I look. I want to be defined by the life I live. I want to stop looking at the scale and having those numbers define me. I want to be filled with God's word as I wage war on the temptations that I face each and every day.
This blog is here to help me on this journey. It is a place where I can hold myself accountable to all of you who are reading. It is a place that I can come to and know that I will have people supporting me and lifting me up in prayer.
I want to make one request though: If you cannot be supportive, uplifting and encouraging, please do not come here to mock me or make snide remarks. This is a real battle. These thoughts and feelings are real. They are not a way for me to try and get attention or to have people feel sorry for me. That is not what I am looking for.
I hope that my blog will help people understand what it feels like to be living a life filled with these kinds of cravings and temptations. I hope that you can understand that I no longer want food to have a hold on me. I want to give it all over to God and to crave him more than I have been.
