I have been thinking about my weight problem for a long time. Honestly, it is my obsession in life, and so far my goals have remained unobtainable and illusive to me. So, I have wondered why and the answer is twofold. First, I think that I have not given myself permission to lose weight. I keep thinking that nothing will really work and as I have heard many times in Kyani meetings “if you think you can or you think you can’t you are right.” I have told myself I can’t lose weight and so far, I am right. Second, I have adopted this wacky incorrect philosophy that I can’t lose weight without a organized program. Now, when was the last time that was true. What? I can’t lose weight without somebody telling me how to do it? What a sad commentary on life that I am now believing everything that the outside world tells us about weightloss. So, I have decided that I need to start believing in myself. Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, Slim Fast, etc. have not been here forever. And I am pretty sure people have been able to lose weight long before any of these programs have been around. It just takes perseverance, belief in myself, and a little self control. I need to cut back on my caloric intake and start exercising again. This is it. Tomorrow is the day. I am going to bet on myself and win.

Let me assure you that this isn't the case. I date my posts for the day that I write them but I didn't post them until Nov. 9th, the afternoon of the day of Stake conference. With that being said, this experience brought to my attention how much being a bishop's wife really is somewhat like being on show for everyone. Sometimes you are scrutinized and it is good, and sometimes it isn't so good. I felt truly inspired to write and keep this blog so that people can get an idea of what a normal bishop's family is like. This however can be difficult because I ...
