Finally-Hope for the Real Victory over my weight!

Monday, May 20, 2013

This weekend I read the book -Get out of the Pit by Beth Moore. It is about having victory for good over addictions or sinful actions. My stumbling block in weight loss is always derailed when I stress out and stuff myself. I have known it is my emotions and sometimes temptations. It comes down to agreeing with the Lord that i am not trusting Him with worries and cares. I Peter 5:7 says Casting all your care upon Him for He careth for you. Also not having confidence that He can help me say no to temptations as well. Three simple steps to follow to get out of the pit.
1. Consent-agree with the Lord what is happening
2. Confess the sin that is besetting you
3. Praising the Lord for what He is able to do!
I am sure I will have salt issues, and menopause issues, and fibromyalgia issues but by God's grace and power I have confidence that He will give me the victory once and for all and daily!!!!!

Romans 6-8 have been constantly on my mind and have greatly helped me to realize that I do not have to be a slave to sinful choices! Keep leaning on the Lord! Report Inappropriate Comment

Today I am perplexed but I know that my savior, the Lord Jesus Christ is not. He knows everything and is ready to help, comfort and strengthen me and also my husband. If I look at my progress I may be discouraged but if I look at Him -he is perfect, the king of kings, and Lord of lords!

Today I am choosing to forget my failures in attitude towards food as a reward and comfort and I am going to press on to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus! He is there to strengthen, encourage, and comfort me regardless of the circumstances. I choose today to go to Him and trust Him to give me the victory over worry, discouragement, and stress!

I am not going to stuff my face when overwhelmed!

Tonight I find the big emotional feelings about my husband's job loss, and ministry changes, and his own depression ready to overwhelm me and send me to the refrigerator for whatever is in there. I am choosing to go to the Lord and break this bad habit that solves nothing and makes me feel worse by going to him and thinking about the fact that "It is well with my soul" . He knows what is happening with our finances, my husbands emotional/mental state and what He is using it for. If one soul gets saved because of the work He does in our lives through this trial than I can Trust and not worry. He loves me and cares about me.

Singing or Speaking Praise is a Proven way to defeat MANY Demons. Praying for Peace, Comfort, and Wisdom as you walk with God through this difficult season. Report Inappropriate Comment

Jeanne, my prayers are with you at this difficult time. How about trying this... when a collague was asking how to stop the evening mindless munching we suggested that she sang when the urge arose. She reckons she doesn't often actually sing, but often just thinking about our suggestion makes her smile and stops the snack attack. How about a hymn, hmm? Report Inappropriate Comment

Brr- its chilly but I am not going to let it stop me!

Okay, I am getting old. As a teenager I walked and skied in 0 degree weather and thought it was a nice day. Now I have trouble going out when its 40 and feels like 30! I do have fibro and arthritis and it does make a difference. Yesterday I was able to join a fitness club for 10 bucks. It is only 3 blocks from my house. I can walk, bike, or drive there easily and with little cost. My budget is tight. I have decided to forgo fast food or little treats here and there to help save some money to pay my fitness dues every month. I have a 70% chance of getting type 2 diabetes because of relatives who have it or did have it. The percentage actually could be much higher because I did that when I only knew about my brother's diabetes, not my cousins, great uncles, and great grandmother's diabetes. My life is very stressful right now and I tend to eat when stressed. My alternative is to go exercise!

I feel the same! I have arthritis and myopathy. I use to love the cold but can't hardley tolerate when it's below 50. I have made myself to take short walks the last couple of days and bundled up. Keep the good work up. Report Inappropriate Comment

Exercise is good for you when you are stressed. I think it is great that you are giving up fast food to be able to afford your gym membership. That's a step in the right direction. Two steps actually! Keep up the great work and keep sparkin'! Report Inappropriate Comment
