Comments on: Sanitizing Self-Talk & Our Girlfriends’ Conference Call!!! http://karenehman.com/home/2010/02/03/sanitizing-self-talk-our-girlfriends-conference-call/ Mon, 21 May 2012 23:30:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jennifer Renee http://karenehman.com/home/2010/02/03/sanitizing-self-talk-our-girlfriends-conference-call/comment-page-1/#comment-17867 Jennifer Renee Thu, 04 Feb 2010 23:07:02 +0000 http://karenehman.com/home/?p=1912#comment-17867 No temptation has overtaken you except such is as common to man, but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with temptation will make the way of escape, that you will be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 For a few days I have been feeling a bit discouraged because I haven't been motivated to exercise for a few weeks and I feel like I eat too much. I stay so hungry at night and just keep eating. Like food is going out of style. I've been craving chocolate! I got on the scale this afternoon and it said 129.8 lbs. Around three weeks ago it said 133.6 lbs so I guess that's something. I still don't see fat loss in my hips and thighs like I want. I hav a few Scriptures for dealing with temptation. Romans 8:37; Romans 13:14; 1 Corinthians 9:27; Hebrews 2:18; James 4:7 No temptation has overtaken you except such is as common to man, but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with temptation will make the way of escape, that you will be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:13

Yes, listen to your body. God made it to know how to grow that little life. The fact that you are doing something is wonderful. I was a complete couch potato during my pregnancies. :) Hmmm...batteries. Wonder what changing them out will do. I just might get around to trying that.

I forgot to post too, it has been crazy at my house. Do you relate? Well, Praise God, I am at the maintenance phase. I actually lost another #l.4 anyway and that is fine, but I was wondering if anyone out there has some good tips for success in maintaining. So far I haven't differed much in my eating as when I was wanting to lose. I know that it really doesn't take many calories between loss and staying the same. I'm keeping up with the exercising as well, and have really seen the benefits! It’s good to hear from all of you! I forgot to post too, it has been crazy at my house. Do you relate?

Stayed the same this week but I'm dealing with some totally frustrating 'female issues' that are simply not helping the cause... I didn't memorize that particular verse but I do have a few others that I keep in my head.... Whoops-forgot to post yesterday.

I was so discouraged. It has been that time of the month but its usually a down week! I don't know what has gone wrong. My self talk has been screwing with me lately and I can't seem to see God for all the other stuff thats in my head. The last few days have been an improvement though. I really want to get under 70 kilos but have been yoyoing up and down for two months!! Now, to make things worse, I hurt my back when I took up running and can't run and don't want to risk going to the gym til I have seen the doc tomorrow, so its just walking at the moment and not particularly fast too. I believe that this is what God wants me to be doing and that he has plans for me once I get to my goal weight but this last 11kilos is going to be harder than the last 37, I think. Have a great week. Hi all

God is faithful, he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted he will provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." I did not have a very good week this week and have been discouraged but I have decided to start over and rededicate myself to getting healthy and losing weight. Congratulations to all of you who had a great week. Your words are very encouraging to me. I hope everyone has a good week. Hi Karen,

It's been a tough week emotionally and I am trying really hard to stay away from food as my comfort. I am really proud of one particular victory. I was buying Valentine cards for my kids and the nearby displays of chocolates called my name. I was looking for a particular combination of dark chocolate and almonds. Since I found no such candy in the entire section (and believe me, I left no bag unturned), I walked away. My kids were speechless for a moment. They know of my chocoholic tendencies and were shocked when I even walked away from M&M's. Thanks be to God for guarding my thoughts and directing my choices! I’m up 1/2 pound this week.

But, God is faithful! He will not test you beyond what you can stand, and with your temptation will provide a way of escape... That is according to the DKJ standard version. Hee! DKJ is me!

For me I think it's because I am home more and cooking more. And since I haven't been eating chocolate, I have made some other treat instead the last two weekends. Not such a great idea! Anyway, this weekend my kiddos and I are supposed to go to a family Birthday party out of town. The good thing is I won't have time to make a new treat for the week and sometimes I do better with my eating when I am away. This week I am down only .5. I didn't memorize the verse yet but have read it a few times. I know I need to replace some negative self talk so the verse and other sayings are a must for me! Hi everyone,

God is faithful, he will not temp you beyond your abilities, but with temptation will also provide a way of excape, that you will be able to endure. I stayed the same this week. I'm happy about that because I had a complete meltdown over the weekend. Weekends are killing me. I can show great dedication and self-control during the week and then it seems with the weekends I just let go. Lose 2 lbs during the week, gain them over the weekend. So, I'm already starting to prepare for the weekend. Encouraging myself and making plans. I'm not a good self-encourager. Matter of fact, I think I'm REAL good at cutting myself down. I've had to be careful because it really upsets my kids, well, my adult kids...one is 19 and the other nearly 22. But even if I don't say the things out loud, I'm still saying them in my head. I've really tried to go with the old saying, if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. I haven't really been able to cross over to being good at encouragement, but have gotten better at not tearing myself down as much. I just don't say anything at all. I'm so disappointed!! I was really excited about the conference call, but just can't do Tuesday's! I have a standing date with a group of girlfriends. I probably won't be able to participate, but will do my best. Welcome to the new people!! I'm glad to have you. And girls...keep up the great work. I'm praying for you all! :) No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.
