Today is my normal weigh - in day, but I decided to wait until Friday which will be my one month mark. God has been so good and faithful to me this month. I have lost weight, 10.5 lbs in all thus far and I have learned a whole lot about my body.
Changing old habits are hard, I already knew that but when in the midst of it you have to be reminded. I was just thinking this morning, why do we let things go on for so long until we are tired of dealing with it. THEN, we get up enough of energy to face it. I am at that place "THEN" in my life. There are three major things that I am working on right now that I have finally had enough of. They are all things about myself that I truly want to change. Old habits, lies that I have let myself believe, and fears that I have not overcome. ---It's amazing what the Lord brings out when you let Him start dealing with one area of your life. That one area started with my weight. He is using my begin "sick and tired" of yo-yo dieting to find something that is really working for my personality. In the mean while, He is shining the light on two other areas He wants to deal with.
I'm very thankful God loves me enough to keep me moving towards the prize, Him!!!! He loves me (and you) to much to let us stay in a hole that we have dug for ourselves. He catches our attention about different things and times to bring us in line with Him. This Christian walk has never been dull for me. God is always teaching me and growing me in every area of my life. What a wonderful God I serve!!!! I will make mistakes along the way but He is there to pick me up. I truly want God to change my heart, but I have to give Him my heart first. See, it's a choice.
I am rejoicing in the Lord today, because He is so good!
14.5 lbs GONE!
I will give my ALL!
I will be good to myself

I totally agree with you. Changing old habits is really hard and at the same time, staying in bondage is harder than walking in freedom. It is for freedom that Christ has set me free, no longer do I have have to walk in the bondage of overeating. God is good. I'm excited that you are closer to your goal then you were a month ago. God is faithful. Once we decide to obey Him, it's amazing how things work out for our good. I appreciate your post!
