HIS Radio

I am 22 years old, married to a wonderful man, going to school full time to become a teacher, and have a great part-time job where I get to work with my best friend. I go to Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, have been a Christian since the age 15, teach Sunday School, and work in the Preschool Children's Church program at church. On paper it all looks great, but then you dig a little deeper. I am 23 years old and feel trapped in my own body. There are things I can't do that I would love to do, things I won't do out of fear of embarrassment. I truly feel that my weight is holding me back from the person that God wants me to be. My calling is to become a teacher. I know that's what God created me to do. I ran from it for 4 years before finally deciding that God knew better what I was created to be than I did. Now I fear that my weight will hold me back from being the teacher I know I can be out of fear of standing before a class room of sweet but brutally honest kids. I know how positive weight loss can affect ones life; my mother lost almost 80 pounds nearly 7 years ago. I am now at the size she was when she decided to make that change. She was in her 40s, I’m only 23. I want to look back with smiles at my twenties, and not regret what "could have been." I have tried on my own, I have tried weight loss groups, I have tried starvation diets, I have tried IT ALL! I NEED YOUR HELP! I know the only thing that can help me really reach my goal (which is 100lbs) is God. Not me, not His Radio, not any exercise or diet program. But God CAN use those things. I have never felt more led to enter a contest then I have this one... so I’m praying that I get picked!
