in Introduce Yourself
This is my 2nd go with MFP. I think that I have finally come back to it for the right reasons. 1 My God - care for the temple that he lives in through me. 2 Me - my health and sanity and 3- my family (4 children, 2 sons from another mother, 3 grand children, a husband (who counts as 3 children all by himself)and 5 dogs. I work full time for a large banking company IT dept. I am active in church and work with a local theater group.

1 is self explanitory as to why I would be trying to lose weight and get healthier
2 is because of #3. With the exception of one of my children they all still live in the same house as me and if I don't take time for me to get healthier, excercise and find ways to reduce my stress I am going to be dead from a heart attack or stroke, or in jail for beating someone half to dealth for NOT PICKING UP THIER CRAP........ OK I feel better now!

    I agree with the part about our bodies being a temple. Even though that cripture in 1 Corinthians was relating to "other behavior" besides over eating, I've always found it a bit convicting where taking care of my body is concerned. I desecrated the temple for too long. No more. Welcome. Feel free to add me if you're looking for new friends who share your faith.

    I can totally relate! Esp with the "heart attack/stroke" issue. Please add me so I can get some good ideas on dinner/exercise. Thanks!!
