DECLARATION OF

FAITH

Sunday, 06 November 2011

I love my web site's Clubhouse and I simply

adore my Clubhouse members. They often

write to let me know how they're doing with their

weight-loss. And, I must say, I've learned a lot

about life from listening to them. (It really is a

two-way street between us.)

I received a very

interesting e-mail from one of my Clubhouse members.

What she had to say really touched and motivated me.

Now the other day, I received a very interesting

e-mail from one of my Clubhouse members. What she had

to say really touched and motivated me.

In fact, her words moved me so much, I wanted to share

what she said...with you. You've got to

see this so--here's what she said:

Hello, . I wanted to write something for

myself I'm calling my own "Declaration of Faith". I

could have written it down in my journal but I

wanted to do it this way. I wanted a witness for my

Declaration and for that job...I chose you!

"I promise to you, my back, my knees, my ankles

and my feet that I'm going to stop causing you so

much pain. I make a promise to you, my spirit, that

I'm going to set you free. You've been trapped

beneath my weight for so many years and I know you

want to be happy again. You want to be able to go

hiking in this body in the beautiful mountains near

where I live. But you've never been able to because

I've had you trapped inside all of these pounds.

I'm making this promise...this DECLARATION to you,

my body and spirit, that I'm going to set you both

free!"

When's the last time you made a promise

like that to yourself?

Wow! How powerful is that, huh? When's the

last time you made a promise

like that to yourself? If you've been overweight for

many years, I'm sure you've promised other

people in

your life that you were going to lose the weight.

But, truth is, the most important person for you to

make that promise to is...yourself!

This Clubhouse member of mine was so

honest. She

named all of the parts of her body that hurt because

of the extra weight she was carrying. And you know

what? It wasn't just physical pain she was feeling,

either. She had to deal with the mental

pain that

was causing her very spirit to suffer...all because of

her weight.

I hope this Clubhouse friend of mine reads her

Declaration of Faith everyday. You see, I really want

her to lose that weight as much as she wants to

lose it. I

want to see her hiking in those majestic mountains

near where she lives. I want to

see her spirit set free.

I want you to write your

own Declaration of Faith!

Hey, I've got an idea. Today, I want you to write

your own Declaration of Faith! Compose it on

your computer, print it, keep a copy with you, read it

everyday and...live by it. And oh yeah,

of course...I will be your

witness!

Love,
