I am reading the book "Weight Loss the Jabez Way" by Scott Conard, MD. My thought before beginning the book was how, exactly, does the phrase 'enlarge my territory' play into this? Enlarge means to grow...well - I'm big enough thankyouverymuch. However, when I read the way this applied it was my lightbulb moment.
As a kid and teen I was active and enjoyed life and sports. As an adult gaining pound after pound after pound - I've watched my life slip away. More and more activities that I enjoyed slid away as I could no longer do them. Dr. Conard's application of 'enlarge my territory' is reclaiming your life - the activities, the sports, the enjoyment that has been gone for so long. Amazing - right?
Today is the first day of this journey. As a matter of fact it has been less than one hour since I read that life changing paragraph. Oh - I must say that I have gained more from the book already but this is my motivator. What am I looking forward to regaining? Flying with confidence. I love to travel but hate to fly because I overflow into the seat next to me and the armrests bruise my legs. I have a trip to Dallas planned for next fall - I anticipate flying comforatbly. I am also looking forward to getting down on the ground to play with Aiden, Rosie and Madi...when she gets bigger. I want to enjoy every minute of my time with her and I want her to remember having fun with her crazy grandma. I can't wait to go hiking and not dread the return hike because I've expended all of my energy on the way out. I can't wait for my knees to quit giving me fits when I climb stairs. Oh yeah - I've got territory to enlarge!
