This is the day that the Lord has made. It is a beautiful, sunny morning. Still cold out right now. Getting my heart ready for worship this morning. I've been missing band practice, but will play this morning for the worship service. I haven't told anyone except my Hubba that I am doing this program. I'm not sure if it is because I don't want to come under the scrutiny of others while I work this out. In the past I've been given too many opinions on how I should go about losing weight. [/color] This time, I need to focus on inner strengths that I haven't really used before. I can't do this for anyone else, it has to be because I believe I can do it. I know that the Lord will give[/color] me strength, but I have to do the work and be faithful to the plan.[/color]

Okay so why do I have these little brackets that say color, and why isn't the whole thing the color I chose? *feeling technically challenged* *giggles*

Same here...though my husband 'outed' me (us) at church today! I guess he's proud of our little exercise and eating plans. I feel pressured to show results more quickly now...my own pressure I'm sure...

Well, LuC2, I think the best thing for us to do is to know that we have chosen what is right for us, and not let any one's opinion pressure us. After all, giving in and listening to them or "feeling" that pressure puts us back into the bondage that put us in this position in the first place! I'm almost 54 - I need to stop listening to those unproductive voices in my head and listen to what I know is true, and to what my body is telling me. I put this weight on as a reaction to stress in my life. Now I have to listen to "truth" in my head and with my heart. It's not easy, but it's the best shot I've got! "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

You are SO right...I actually sat there and battled with myself in Bible Class about what everyone thought of his statement. When, honestly, they don't buy my 26/28 now and won't be buying my 6/8 later. I am very committed to this process so I'm perplexed as to why I actually felt the heat rise on my neck like I was being judged. The friends I have there are not even the critical, non-supportive types!

It's the lies we've been telling ourselves for so long. I've finally been praying the scripture that talks about binding anything that sets itself up against the Lord. I'm not pentacostal or charismatic, but I DO believe in the power of praying God's word. We need protection of our mind against the lies we've been believing for so long....sort of like we've brainwashed ourselves to fail and to feel excluded. I just can't live like this any longer. If we are supposed to be given everything we need to live a victorious life, then hey, let's claim it and get Him to help us in EVERYTHING - including keeping me on plan. It's amazing. I believe it will be our single most effective resource! :)

Agreed. The message of that scripture is that what you're asking for has already been done, so we have to act like it, pray on it and walk in it through faith. I KNOW we can lose this weight because I know God wants me healthy, happy and focused on something besides achy joints and dress sizes. Love ya, Cjsong! I'll be praying for you as you pray for me and we'll cover each other's hearts and minds.

Absolutely, LuC2. I've been looking for an accountability partner, praying about it. I think my prayer has been answered. Have a blessed day!
|
:) I feel blessed to have you too. This is a long, winding road but having a supportive friend is just awesome!
