Today’s Inspiration | African American women, Let ‘s support one another as we walk this journey to health together. You may not agree with another sista’s methods. You may feel that someone should work harder or is taking an easy route. This should not get in the way of us connecting and supporting each other.
We all have the right to make our choices and have them respected. We are smart women who know the benefits and negative points of the choices that have gotten us to this place in time in terms of out health. Let us lend an ear and share positive encouragement. Let us not be judgmental, but always willing to share our truths and hear the truths of others in kind. Let us see past our petpeeves and opinions to the real issues that our fellow sisters are dealing with and the support they need. Let us be open when our sista’s love feels like correction, but we really know it’s love.
BWLW is a community of like minded Black Women wanting to lose weight as part of their overall wellness goals. Let this be a place of unity and hope. A place of refuge for women who want to connect and share. – Ajima

Ajima, many blessings to you to develop such a wonderful site of empowerment and encouragement. I attended my first live chat on Monday and I was more encouraged to take personal responsibility and to do it ! I saw so many women who exercise, try different types of plans and who are successful in getting their weights down and improving their overall health.
If I may encourage us with God’s help, I found a wonderful verse that may help those who speak negative doubtful thoughts about their weightloss ability. It is not true that we can’t lose weight, as we really really can.
The Lord says, If you speak what is worthwhile and not what is worthless, you will stand in my presence…. I am with you and I will save you and rescue you, declares the Lord. Jeremiah 15
If we can learn to be patient and loving with ourselves, I believe that we can open the floodgates to really challenge our belief system that is not helpful to us; I believe that we can really get competitive within our own minds and excel – monitor and eat well, move as we can and accept 1 pound weight loss at a time until we reach our weight loss goas. Go in peace my friend.
Smile. Yes you can do it !!
