If I were to count up the number of people who want me to be stronger, more flexible, healthier, and weigh less, I could count a bunch.
On the other hand, if I were to count up the number of people who would be angry if I weighed less, I could count a bunch.
As with all things in life, I can't please everyone. For instance, the truth is, at this very moment, there are people in my life who are angry that I weigh more than my ideal.
So all I can do is think to myself, what does God want? Well, I believe He created me to be at a healthy weight, so that shall be my goal, despite the negativity sure to come my way as I lose....
only to WIN in the long run, of course! :)
