My eating was better, but the scale stayed the same. I blamed my aging hormones and thought I would never lose weight. I was eating too much and stubbornly did not want to admit it. I fell back into old habits like using food to soothe my feelings. I thought my food intake was fine, but I ate more food than my body needed. Proverbs 3:7-8 is, “Don’t be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. This will be healing for your body and strengthening for your bones. Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 The Lord gently showed meRead More →

I will never be perfect or good enough. Since perfection was out of my reach, I decided to “give up” in the past. I tried ever diet or meal plan offering quick results. After a few days of “depriving” myself, I had enough and ate everything I could. Over time, I started using excess food to cover my feelings of never being enough. Psalm 139:17 is, “How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!” Holy Bible, New Living Translation God takes me as I am. He created my imperfections so I would seek Him. My efforts will be never beRead More →

Psalm 119:35 is, “Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.” Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 Once I shifted my eyes to the Lord, I could start eating less. Those small steps got me back into a grove of eating for nutrition. I have moreRead More →

God has changed me so I no longer snack all day long. He gives me the strength to walk away from food temptation. However, stress is still my downfall. When my mind is set on stress, I turn to food. I had stomach discomfort last week from eating too much. I can’t believe I slipped again. Jeremiah 31:25 is, “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 Only God can satisfy and refresh me. He is the solution to my stress. Food has never fixed my stress. I might feel better for a short time, but feel worseRead More →

Like everyone else, I want quick and easy weight loss, even though I know it is not realistic. I tried a new probiotic to eliminate stomach bloat, thinking it might help me lose weight. This supplement is helping my stomach heal from years of overeating. When I eat too much, I can now see how uncomfortable my stomach feels. I have justified my overeating for too long and lied to myself about the amount I was eating. Proverbs 3:7-8 is “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to yourRead More →
