My efforts with dieting continue

I am fighting the good fight, and it IS a fight indeed. After 3 years, I have now lost 123 lbs, with 51 more to go. I have worked SO hard at the gym, and with the food choices I have made. The loss has been painfully slow or almost non-existent at times, but over the course of the years, has added up. I feel MUCH better about myself, and enjoy the compliments I get, esp from Mark! :) I had 2 surgeries in Dec (one the week before Christmas, the other 3 days after), where I had the varicose veins in my legs repaired/removed, and the recovery process from that has taken longer than expected. So, it has slowed me down, but I am NOT giving up. At this point, I will keep working until I get there. I was hoping to lose the rest of the weight by mid-summer, when my family is gathering for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, but with the slow-down, I may not be all the way there. No matter, as long as I am headed in that direction. I am grateful to the Lord for the grace He has given me, and to my loving husband who has been incredibly supportive of me, through my lifetime of struggle in this area. Praise God.
