It was a pleasant weigh-in yesterday. I am done .5 and I will take it. Now I have been doing this for a couple months and really have not lost alot yet. But I did not gain this weight over night and it will take a while for me to get used to weighing and portioning out my food.
Now saying that I had an epiphany yesterday while I was waking up. I used to be on Weight Watchers before and I followed the Core program which later turned into the Momentum I believe. I eat mostly fruit, veggies and protein so I thought I would look up the new Simply Filling option. Now it says if you tend to binge or don't know how to stop when you are satisfied and eat like it was Thanksgiving, then this is not the program for you.
Since studying Lisa TerKeurst book "Made to Crave" my "want" to eat everything in site is no longer there. Praise the Lord!! He is my Creator and He will show me how and what and what portion to eat to lose and get healthy. When I feel like I am getting out of control, I take the time to pray to our Father in Heaven and He always gives me the grace I need at any one time.
Have you surrendered your eating over to the Creator? He has made you and knows you more than you know yourself. It is so easy to pray....It does take the discipline to wait and ask God for His grace but it is always there for you for the asking.
Isn't it time to trust God with everything in our lives?

Very true, Twinnie, and congrats on the loss!
I do find that Christians (myself included) often forget that we have the Holy Spirit there and willing & VERY ABLE to help us through our cravings - and to avoid sin! Such an amazing reminder!! Who needs any more help than the HS?

Amen! it is definitely time to lay down our idols. Thanks for the encouragement. I am going to look up the Simply Filling plan. It sounds like it might be a good option. Thanks for joining WLW! Hope you have a great week!
I'm glad that you had a nice time w/ your mom, despite everything. We just have to take the "treasures" that are there, when they are there, eh? ((( hugs )))
