A funny thing happened to me today. I saw a little girl at church today that I used to babysit. I went up to her and I said hello. She said to me, "You're a different Becky." I said, "No, I'm the same Becky." She looked at me a little funny and said, "Where's the other Becky?" I said, "I'm the same one, just skinnier." She said, "Oh." (She totally still didn't believe me)
This is the same little girl that when I did babysit (at my heaviest) would ask me, "Are you fat?" I of course said no because who wants to admit that. Then another time, I was going to sit down on the couch and she said, "Your butt is big." Now I don't know if it was a small lack of manners, but we do know that kids often don't have that "oh maybe I shouldn't say this" filter. To them, what what they see, is what's real. Now what do you say to that?
Denial. I had a major case of denial. I mean once I got to my heaviest, I could no longer deny it. However, there was that point, just past 200 that I said, oh I'm still athletic, I can still play sports, etc. Clearly, I was a heart attack waiting to happen.
So my dear friends, may you be honest with yourselves and take a step towards change. Maybe it's diet, maybe it's exercise, or something else, but don't let another day go by. Today, my friends, today.
