Weight Loss Wednesday

Hello...........

Well, I gained what I had lost last week...1/2 pound.  I am really tired of this up and down business....I was ready to throw in the proverbial towel.  That is when God stepped in and said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Trust Me....I will get you thru this.

I need to focus not on the scale but the process!!  Am I eating more healthy? Yes.  Am I eating only when hungry? Yes.  I know it will eventually work out.  I know it.

I have been reading such a lot of blogs lately.  I am learning alot.  It is just not eating "right".. it is doing this for the rest of my days.  I have to be able to do this for ever.  Am I willing to do this?  Yes.

I even have been reading an old AA book.  No I was not an alcoholic, but I did do a while in OA.  Overeaters Anonymous is a fellowship of like-minded people with the same disease we have. Recovery is when one suffering person reaches out to another because they identify with the disease and all the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that go along with the disease...Overeating is never about the food but is about what is going on inside of us. If we could have stopped eating on our own, we would have; in OA we are not alone. Diets are a temporary fix.  

"Yale University came out with a study in which they were able to show that food affects the brain the same way cocaine and alcohol do. Alcoholics Anonymous teaches us precisely how to recover, step by step. We have a spiritual problem in which we make the food our god and give all our power to the eating disorder. Since the ED is a spiritual problem, the solution must also be spiritual. The book teaches us how to live and to enlist the aid of a power greater than ourselves.

It does bother me that they say "a power"....my power is the Lord, the Creator of the Universe.

So, I am going to do the Simply Filling plan again.  I really felt free with that.  I used to do the Core plan and it is basically the same.  So I am hanging in there again.  I am praying to God to find exactly why I sabotage myself sometime.... I know I am angry at my childhood.....but golly, I am an adult now and shouldn't that be behind me by now.  Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

So I will leave you with this....

Php 4:19  And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
