I’m just curious:
How many of you here ask God for help in your weight loss? How many
read the Bible on a regular basis, and/or do a Bible study? (either
on your own, or with other women)

….so, it got my heart and head into action “thinking” and this was my
answer today:
It was an interestingly timed e-mail, J. Thanks for sending this. Not
entirely a coincidence, as I always believe that God gives us the message others
need to hear if we are to be the messenger, or gives it to others to show to
us if we need to be shown/told something. And, often we are more ready than
we want to admit.
So. Yesterday, I saw your email and I kept it to respond to “eventually” as
I wanted to (had to?) think of where I need to be at.
My answers: honestly, not often enough on the Bible readings and I better
say “never” at least not in a long while about the Bible studies going on in
my life. We like to say we’re busy, but how long do I have (or find) to spend
wasting on the internet, or with other activities, ya know?
So. That was the start of it. The thinking process. Praying. Where do I
need to be?
I think I saw your email before I went to work. I still proceeded to OD on
sugar yesterday. Darned that satan!
Then I woke up this morning (after my “I feel like being sick” email last
night) and went jogging. Part was to pound the rest of the sugar out of my
system (punish myself? I don’t think so, not that extreme) but needed the
exercise, none-the-less.
When I was out jogging, I was really struggling because I took my iPod for a
change. Typically, I don’t take it on runs, just my walks, because I need
to focus on my footing and steps and my breathing, etc. So, today I have my
iPod with me and was struggling with my pace because I kept trying to get to
the “good songs” LOL. Well, the “good songs” that God wanted me to hear were
of course my Christian ones, not the other upbeat, get you rocking on a run
songs so instead of fast-forwarding, I listened through the slower, mellower
songs (thus why my pace was struggling). BUT I heard in my heart: you need to quit playing at losing and do it! No More turning back . you see i been toy with having a day off to just eat whatever .
Just like I heard 2.5 years ago that it was ok to start WW because I was at
a point that I wanted/needed the in-person support and on-scale
accountability, so I was given the ok back then. Well, now, it’s time to quit playing mind games with myself and make it a life chance not a diet I was
actually going to rebel in a way as I thought to myself “I need to think and
pray about this” and then it came to me: what’s to think or pray about, God
told you to quit treating it as a diet . it not a game it a way you got to eat to keep your diebates ,heart ,body and soul healthy., so I did. I said yes Lord with your strenght will Ger-R-done!
So. That’s where I am at today.
