1. For the glory of God. (God has convicted me about my weight and how he desires to be the Lord of all areas of my life).
2. When we went to Silver Dollar City I was to fat to ride some rides with my kids! (No way of knowing until you are already trying to stuff your self into the seat and the safety bar does not close)
3. So that I can do more things with my kids. (Like show them that Dad can play soccer and not just coach it)
4. Because if I am healthier it will help my wife feel safe. (I'm doing everything I can to stay around for her and the kids)
5. So I can get rid of my CPAP machine. (Luke, I am your Father...heavy breathing.....Eyvette I am your husband followed by heavy breathing before bed time is not as good of a line)
6. So that I can lower my blood pressure and get off my blood pressure med. ($30 a month adds up, not to mention all the long term problems that will develop, and the doctors visits)
7. So that my kidneys will not feel the pressure of the extra weight.
8. So that I can preach on gluttony. (It is kind of hard to preach against when the Pastor is 338 lbs)
9. So I can buy clothing where I want to. (Not the Big and Tall store or the Farm supply store)
10. Because, according to recent studies, 50% of people that are active in church from a young age are overweight by the time they are in their thirties and this needs to change, so it needs to start with me!
