I'm baaaack!!!LOL
Yep!! Starting over!!
Can't believe it's been since 2011 that I was on here last. I just reread what I wrote back then and thought to myself.... this person sounds quite insightful. Then I quickly realized it was ME. LOL
Well, what can I say.... I have had quite a few years of yo-yo dieting and now my weight as of this morning is a whopping 322.5 and I'm on blood pressure medicine!! Yikes!!
So, I am ready to get serious..... with God's help!!

Today I'm going grocery shopping to prepare for my new journey of Counting Calories. Fun, Fun!! But I believe this is how God wants me to do this. The old fashion way.... counting calories and exercise. At least this way I can eat in moderation and I will be able to maintain my weight once it's off. :)

So, today is my confession day on here but starting tomorrow I will be posting what God shares with me, my goals, recipes, pictures and maybe even some video.. who knows! But I am planning on this being a fun place for me to come every day and hope to be an inspiration to someone out there.

Blessings!!!

Self Condemnation

Ok.. So, I guess I need to admit that I have not been on my best behavior these last few weeks with losing my weight. I tend to beat myself up alot when I'm not on my best behavior with my weight loss. And I know it's just lies from Satan because this is what God says in His word:
 Romans 8:1&2
1.So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
2.And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

So, not only did God say there is NO CONDEMNATION but He also says that I AM FREE!!!

I can't go according to how I happen to "feel" that day. I need to stand on His Word!! I need to just persevere. With every trial comes perseverance and with perseverance comes great blessings. 
James 1:2 says 
2.Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.

That one is a doozy... when I am having trouble or trials I also need to be joyful?? LOL  That is sooo hard. But I'm realizing that if I don't focus on how I happen to "feel" that day and I just persevere I will reap great blessings. That's where the joy comes in. :)


I need to just focus on TODAY!! And I won't let a number on the scale define who I am. I know who I am in Christ Jesus!! I AM WORTHY!!!

Knowing Who I Am

I just got this scripture this morning and it is now hanging on my refrigerator door also. :)

I just got done listening to a webcast at MadetoCrave.org and I made alot of notes that was just some real good Ah Ha moments for me.

The first thing is Replace your food craving with God craving. This is HUGE!!
2). Identity comes before activity
3). Know who you are in Christ
4). See yourself as God sees you. Before I even lose a pound God is well pleased with me because I am His daughter. :)
6). Replace the lies with God's truth. God made me for more than this struggle. This one is also huge for me because I have been struggling with my weight for so long and I think about it day and night to where it is all consuming and I have a hard time seeing myself doing anything else but struggle with losing weight but I know God made me for more than this. He loves me unconditionally!!
7). God will tell you what to do even when you think you can't. Get rid of the excuses!! (Look back at #6..lol)
8). In Christ I am EMPOWERED instead of DEPRIVED.

1 Thess. 5:16-18
16. Always be joyful. 17. Never stop praying. 18. Be thankful in ALL circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

I know who I am. God made me for a purpose and I am so looking forward and not backward. My future is looking brighter!! Thank you God!! :)

Moving Forward

I love this song!! We sang it at our church this morning and like it says in the song I'm declaring that I'm going to move forward in Christ! No more looking in the past at the "would of's", "could of's" and "should of's". Everyday is a new day and in every aspect of my life including my weightloss I AM MOVING FORWARD!!! :)

Speak Out What You Believe In Christ by Joseph Prince

And My Journey Begins.....

This is a scripture that God has given me to help me start my spiritual weightloss journey. In the past couple of weeks I have heard this scripture a couple different times at my church and each time it just stirred something inside me. I knew this was God speaking to me on how to begin my weightloss journey again but this time WITH HIM!!

 Today my start weight is 299.5 lbs.

Oh... and by the way, this scripture is posted on my refrigerator door. :)
