I started using an app on my phone called myfitnesspal to track everything I eat and drink and what exercise I get. After getting on the scale last night and saw where I'm at, it was like a huge slap in the face. How can I love myself right now? I just have to love me because God created me in His image. That should be enough.
But is it? Right now I'm very angry for being complacent about myself. I weigh more that I ever have and more than a lot of guys I know. I thank God that Joel loves me as I am, but this late night eating has to stop. I'm already 75 calories over my goal for the day, which means I have to exercise more and my eating is done for the day.
I can do this. I have no choice and I have no excuses. My tyranny stops now. With God's help, all things are possible, even this. I believe God delights in fulfilling His Word when His children are involved.
"Stay alert, be in prayer so you don't wander into temptation without even knowing you're in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there's another part that's as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire." Matthew 26:41.
That's me! I may not be an old dog, but my side of the couch is surely as comfortable as lying by that fire.
Well, no more laziness for me! I have a good life to live and grandchildren to watch grow up. It's going to be difficult at times, but life is never easy.
Your prayers for strength and courage would be greatly appreciated!
A place to unload the worries of the day and celebrate the knowledge I am not alone in this crazy world!
can't everyone agree that dieting sucks and ya it definately is real hard. kevin and I have to stay on track ourselves and it is very diffficult but hoping that u and I can help each other stay motivated on the walking part three days a week. so u have to let me know what times work for u.
