I found you all by reading the Made to Crave devotional by Lysa Terkhursrt (I hope I spelled her name correctly). I was all alone in my pursuit of God in healthy eating. But, God showed me through you all that I am not alone! Even of never meet any of you face-to-face you streng then me! Thank you. I lost 4 pounds this week! Praise God! My major change has been my mindset. I love this group! I found you all by reading the Made to Crave devotional by Lysa Terkhursrt (I hope I spelled her name correctly).

I am not into being controlled by food either way, by being so hung up about what is in it that you have to buy 'special" stuff just to eat, or by just binging on whatever you feel like. There has got to be a happy medium, and that is what I'm looking for. Down 1.2 this week. And very obedient. I really feel like this, too.

Not me, the kids and hubby has been pretty ill. I've been stress eating through it all. I just went back to the record it all and calculate blog entry and read forward to here. I've got my notebook. I've got my target calorie count now I just have to plan my eating day. So better late than never, I am on board. Hope I'm still welcome to be an accountability partner.

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 01:58:28 +0000 http://karenehman.com/home/?p=1317#comment-14791 Ack!! A week went by already?!?! I'm not doing so good. But I'm not trying so good either. I don't need encouragement...I need a swift k... uh...anyway. Ok so I'm 36 yrs old, 5"5 and last time I checked I was between 165-170. It's hard for me to believe that according to the BMI chart being 150 is the highest weight I should be without being considered overweight. I'd be ECSTATIC to be 150. And that's really my goal. Ok so I'm really really really going to try harder this next week. I'll tell you one think that keeps running through my head every day for a couple of weeks no ( ... seriously thinking God might be trying to get my attention here...) and that is to cut out sugar. Come again?... yeah. I mean, THAT. That petrifies me. Is that even possible, to give up sugar??? And over the last week I've been trying to think of ways to be holistically healthy. Dr. Andrew Weil comes to mind. Anyone have any thoughts on him? Oh and I just got to be corny and say Ladies (and any men?), just BE GOOD to yourself ok? You are most definitely NOT a number. Ack!!

OK... I don't include the bites that I don't swallow! Yes... you did read that correctly. Sometimes I just have to have a bite of a pumpkin muffin or an oatmeal raisin cookie. Since I can't have grains or sugar I have my taste and then with dainty, ladylike finesse, I spit it into a napkin when no one is looking. It's ugly and I'm ashamed but... there you have it. I did lose 2 pounds this week and that's the most I have lost in a week for a few months so I'm pretty excited. Thanks for the group encouragement. I love the extra support!

I have to write things down, but it is sooooooo hard for me to do that. I don't know why, just find it difficult. Gonna be better this week. Didn’t do so good this week.
