I've chalked it up to genes, big bones, slow metabolis but it is pure sin. I have put food...the preparation/planning/preparing...of it in my thoughts much more than I've meditated on my heavenly Father. It is not the food that needs to 'behave'.....it is my spiritual lack of self-control. If you truly want to be free from the bondage of overeating, go to www.settingcaptivesfree.com and sign up for their TOTALLY FREE Bible study, The Lord's Table. It is a 60 day plan that brings you face to face with the root issues and leads you into an awesome journey with the Lord. This is totally different from anything I've tried....and I have tried them all. I have been on a diet from the age of 5 1/2 months (really!) to being given diet pills as an 8 year old child, to WW/Atkins/Slim-Fast/Grapefruit diets/banana diets/phen-phen......you name it, I have done it. The fact that they don't work is proven by how many I have tried. The Lord has given me this new study to draw me to Him and get a handle on my appetite. It is a blessing ladies.....a true blessing. Please check it out.....they give you an on-line encourager and ask you to send your weight in once every week but there is NO CHARGE and GREAT benefits.

The one thing I have discovered in all my experiences is that exercise has helped me more than anything else in keeping my weight down. Some kind of daily exercise is essential even if it is just walking. As far as eating goes, it is really just a matter of making better choices on a daily basis. I have found that cutting down on portion sizes at meal times and eating more slowly is a great way to start. Of course, always try to choose foods with less fat and sugar and replace them with healthier choices. I have found that in between meals when I feel like I have to eat something, a small amount of protein helps curb my appetite, like a little turkey or a few almonds or some yogurt. Of course, these are just a few things that work for me. You have to find out what works best for you. Be sure to pray!

So, I guess I am on my own. I am going to do some advertising at my girls' elementary school and see what I come up with. But, I love the idea and I really need to be accountable to someone and get this weight off. Thanks for the excellent idea!

Wow, what a great time! I came away with so much, but the one thing I want to try and remember is 15. When you stop and think about the 15seconds or 15min or 15days, 15 months and 15years. It is so easy to change some of the negative outcome of reactions that aren't really necessary. It was inspiring to listen to you in your Ducks in a Row class.
