Strangest thing happened today.  I was ravenous, wanted to eat but nothing I ate seemed to satisfy me.  I wanted veggie burgers, but I had planned that for dinner, it was only 3:ish, but I wanted them burgers.  So I had them, on a bun with Dijon mustard & cheese.  Guess what, the cravings went away.  I truly believe the Holy Spirit was helping me make a food choice that was good for me.  I still am not hungry and it is after 7:pm.  I have enough money to buy 2 more packages of them before I get paid.  Wish they weren't so expensive, you pay more for 4 patties (over $4.00 a box) than a pound of ground round.  I remember the first time I was in the hospital for my A-Fib, I ate them twice a day and lost 40 pounds  in 13 days, doing nothing but sitting in the recliner and cross-stitching!  Keep growing in me Holy Spirit, push out the bad choices, make me wiser to the good.

Take It All

a song by Third Day

I listened to this song today, truth be told, I listened to it for at least 30 minutes, if not more, I lost track of time!

How can I move ahead if I don't stop punishing myself because I am fat?

I won't forgive myself for my past mistakes, but Jesus already has.

I keep hurting myself with food, and Jesus is there saying that I am already forgiven.

Today I ask Him to take all my past mistakes,
and help me to forgive myself!

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,

It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Hmm, been thinking today.  If God the creator of all, has given me this body challenge, then He must believe I can concur it!  What am I waiting for?  If God is behind me, who can stop me.  Only one can stop me from my accomplishments, and that is myself.  Ohhh, what a fool I have been.  (just a note, when I typed the word fool, I first typed it as food, how sad am I).

440.0

Unless I let go of this addiction to food, my life will be nothing.
Holy Spirit grow inside of me to push out what is not of God.

Twenty days later!
