I enjoy pop culture, I love watching ET, and entertainment tonight, I love reality TV, I love Duck Dynasty and Honey Boo Boo. All that said, I do not understand the fasination with the Karidashians. Honey Boo Boo's Mom may not be sophiscated, but she has 10 times the good values the Karidations ever will. Ever since I have become poor, it sickens me to see self indulgent people validate themselves with their spending and rationalizing it all away. Creating their own universe by purchasing not only redicilous material things, but also wrapping themselves with yes men who fawn over them and glorify their behavior. If by some crazy chance I'd have money, I pray I could be real and smart.
In essence, I have done the very same with my obesity. I created my world too comfortable. Surrounding myself with people who never challenged me. Letting some others manipulate and controlling me with the bait and crumbs tossed my way.
Even having furniture a bed, and a car that accommodated my isolated little world. Creating a refuge that soon became my prison. And, I did it in the name of The Lord. We can rationalize any behavior away. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I reconize the forest, and realize I'm not alone without my guide. I am grateful for the sweet handful of friends who were there, never manipulating, criticizing or repulsed by me. You have stood by me ay mt worst moments, constantly there. I have a very long road ahead, and I know my Heavenly Father and you few saints that stood by will always be there. God is faithful, ALL THE TIME.
