I will Not be a double standard

So I started my last first day of dieting ever today. I weighed in today and it wasn't horrible, but I have a long way to go. Today I felt like I had a million excuses why I could quit this entire thing before it ever started, but a sign on my way to work yesterday re-enforced why I need to do this yet again.

Yesterday, I got called into work to save the world. Ok, not save the world, but I did have to ensure that four delinquent juveniles didn't have their constitutional rights violated and were able to appear in court today ready and prepared. On my way to work, myself and another car were cut off and flipped off by a mini van sporting an "I Love Jesus" bumper sticker. I understand that they were annoyed at myself and the other car were driving the speed limit, but I had a feeling God would understand that they were running a few minutes late to church. Now I am not saying that everyone has to be perfect all the time or even part of it, but if you put yourself out there as a "christian" or a "dieter" or a "dieting christian" for every one positive story you tell your negative actions will speak louder than words. I doubt that car thought twice about blazing past me and a part of me wanted to honk or say something back, but on the other hand how could go to work and counsel kids on obeying the law while I break it myself. Obviously similar logic was not used by the driver of the mini van that blew past me.

So today I get on the scale for the first of many Monday weigh in's. I am committed to make it this time and I refuse to be a double standard. I will not be a an "I Love Jesus" bumper sticker flipping people off on the Hancock Expressway. Over 100 people read my last blog post so here I am to start this journey. I have put myself out there and I am committed to finish what I have started.
