A Challenge and Blessing Not Taken For Granted (Here is an example of how a struggle, when meet with a change in attitude, can become something positive when shared.)

There is no easy way.  If I want to be thin for the rest of my life, I'll have to work at it, count calories, weigh myself from time to time, and avoid certain foods. For some people it's harder than others. It fluctuates with stress and situation. Sometimes, I am lucky and weight just falls off, while other times, unexplained pounds appear. I hate to admit this , but this is a life long struggle, but I am prepared to except it. It makes me sick to think of those sheets of paper with the calories written down of what I eat each day that I have made and will make, but I am the master of my body. I have never been obese, at my heaviest I was around 168 lb and although I have had "Heavy Times" they have come about because of healing from sickness, healing from smoking, or/and medication, and I have always lost the weight. I believe that I have control of my body (Most of the time), have proven myself, have educated myself about nutrition and emotional eating, and deserve health, and dare I say, it is even in my Glory to know how to care for my body and keep it healthy. I believe it is a part of our glory to have health and to be attractive. This will not be easy for me, but God has granted me with a healthy ,attractive body and I'm not going to take it for granted. 
  My Body is my temple and home for my Spirit.  It has symbolic meaning (most people don't see) and that has kept me pure.  I worship a God that is able to allow me to be the owner of such a creation.  It has little to do with weight, although Heath is important for everyone. God is granting me heavenly help.  Everyone has something beautiful to them.  The Lord blesses us as He pleases.  I have had times and days that I have been less attractive ,but as long as I stay teachable there is always hope.   God loves me and has helped me so that there has never been any craving or appetite that has been too hard for me to overcome with time.  There is healing through Jesus Christ.  Sometimes he reminds me of these things now and then and it keeps me reaching out ,to teach people the things that I have learned. By doing this, I have realized how much I love God and His Children!  In this way ,I have prepared myself to be a Mother Someday.  I know the scares will come ,but they will fade and in the next life I will have a perfect body and that fact and courage makes me Worthy and of Great Worth.   Even an Ex-Model.  Where my body is so important to my reputation.  I don't know if some of the people I know will be okay, but I'll feel blessed being a Mother when that time comes.  :)
