Sorry. I haven't weighed this last week and have been really struggling with eating, exercise and guilt. It has been so hard and as one friend said to me - 'Satan is hitting you over the head with a big stick!' Unfortunately, while that has been helpful to know why I am doing what I am doing, it hasn't helped me to be responsible for my part in submitting to Satans plan. I would really appreciate your prayers if anyone is checking in to see us late posters. Even at this stage in the week, I am not sure whether I will go to my weight watchers meeting this coming week. It feels bad to admit defeat this early in the week but I don't want to see the scales go up AGAIN! I feel quite defeated as I came so close (only 2.5 kgs) from my goal weight and now I have moved further and further away. On the up side, I have decided that running is not for me, but that I really enjoy walking, as I have in the past. I find that running is too mental for me and doesn't allow me the time to sing to God, to pray or just to sort my thoughts out. This has been great to relieve the pressure to go running and to find something that I am enjoying and is mentally great at the same time! Until next week... Hi Ladies
I’m very late checking in this week. Sorry. I haven’t weighed this last week and have been really struggling with eating, exercise and guilt.

Some news after given it all to the Lord with regards to my weight, saying thats it I can't do it without your help and eating til satisfied not stuffed, and not weighing unless I feel lead to do, and not feeling like my clothes were getting looser..... I saw someone yesterday who said they thought I had loss weight, so I said I don't think so. but I decided this morning, [fRIDAY ] to weighin ... for the first time I had no fear before the weigh in thinking what ever it said I would deal with , I will NOT be held in bondage any more to what a pair of scalessays. It has been 5 weeks since I have weighed and..... I have lost 4lbs which I am very happy with as slow is ok, because it took years to put it all on.. so it might take quite while to take it off. I truly believe , that saying I can have all things in moderation and eating when Iam TRULY hungry and STOPPING when I am satisfied, has made me think , oh well I don't really need it, Also thinking about how some foods make me feel better has encouraged me to eat alot healthier. So girls if I can do it with the Lords help, I am prayin you all can to. Have a lovely week. Hi I am a couple of days late checkin in life is hectic around here at the moment.

If I can learn the self-control, that will help in so many areas where I struggle. Maybe that should be my prayer, instead of just the weight thing. “as you’re working on your waistline, you’re also working on self-control which is essential to mature as a Christian”…boy does that hit hime.

Arelene's baby is the cutest! Just popping in to say that I have lost 1 pound this week, which surprised me because of the holiday. I did have a few treats, but balanced it out with fewer carbs. Need to get back to walking, it's been so hot that I haven't gotten out during my lunch hour. I am in a smaller size of jeans than I have been in for 15 years or so. Still not where I want to be, but small steps are better than sitting around! God bless, Jennifer D No need to enter me into the give-away as I do not have any children. Arelene’s baby is the cutest!

I know it's not right, but there are times I do feel like I deserve treats that aren't the best thing for my body. Actually, my husband does too: if he knows it's been a tough day, he often sneaks off to get me some sort of surprise dessert after the girls are in bed...it's sweet, but not friendly to my waistline! Lately I've been trying harder to fill myself with the Lord, and to bring my stresses and sorrows to him, and this post really encouraged me!

I had baby #4 3 months ago, and I still have quite a gut on me. It is particularly frustrating for me because the weight just MELTED off after Baby #1, fell off fairly smoothly after Baby #2, and went away eventually after Baby #3. I should have noticed that it is getting harder each time, but I still do not have good self-control. On a positive note, I have made the decision to drink nothing but water for the entire month of June! (Skim milk is allowed in my cereal each day.) Diet Coke is my weakness and I have been TRYING to cut down on it, but I've found that it is too readily available, and the free refills when I'm out are KILLING me! And since I'm a nursing mom, I know I can do better for my daughter too. So, since I was not doing well with "moderation" I decided I needed to go BIG! Praying that this works wonders for me in many ways this month! Needed to hear this! I had baby #4 3 months ago, and I still have quite a gut on me.
