The Cost of Freedom for the Peace of Independence

America was a colony of Great Britian, but wanted to be free. Free from the tyranny and control of a leader and government that was hurting them.
They said in simple words:
Sometimes the people of a country do not want to live in that country any more, because the govenment has become unjust, and so they decide to make their land into a new country.
We are going to do this because we believe, all people are Created equal by God and He wants every person to have rights like life, freedom, and the ability to pursuit happiness. The job of a good government is to protect the rights of the people. The government must do what the people say, because the people made the government, if it does, then it is called a democracy.
The government of Great Britian put people in jail with no reason, made taxes that were too high, and did not give respect to people who lived in the colony.
So America declared their independence.
They fought for their freedom. There was a war…the American Revolutionary War from 1775–1783.
8000 died in conflict, 17,000 died from other causes…for a total of 25,000…with another 25,000 that were wounded.
That makes 50,000 people who gave so that we could be free!
Just thinking…
We are like that…declaring our independence, reclaiming our freedom from being overweight.
We the people of buddyslim are fighting for our liberation.
Freedom!!!
We have chosen a new form of government for our bodies. We have declared that we deserve to have a better life, freedom from the extra weight and the opportunity to pursuit happiness. So we are separating ourselves from our former way…declaring liberty from the tyranny of control, taxation on our bodies and unjust prisons of shame.
It will be a war, there is a cost, but the joy of the independence set before us motivates us to fight for freedom!
This is an actual quote from the Declaration of Independence that America was making to Great Britian. “We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.”
I like that last part. That is how I feel about food, or anything that stands between me and my freedom…enemies in war, friends in peace.
Looking forward to the day of peace, when I can be who God created me to be, and live in peace, in my new body, under my own government…in life, liberty and happiness!
