I have gone 13 days without even a small bit of chocolate. WOW! I mean that is BIG! I have not had rice, potatoes, bread or pasta either. I have had crackers, knowing that I should not have but I realize that I made a mistake and tomorrow is a new day! I have not been on the scale since the beginning of the week because I am not feeling like my clothes are feeling loose. I do have an interview on Wednesday and I am working steadily for Kristi so I am bringing money into my home.
I do feel disappointed with my lack of weight loss but I have been putting on make-up and fixing my hair and it does make a big difference with my self esteem. I understand that one of the reasons that I am not achieving my wight loss goals is that I am comforting myself with food. I do have to say that I feel more in control since I am not eating as many carbs. I also realize that when I am eating for comfort reasons, that I should go outside and walk around the block or pick up my bible.
I know that God is faithful. Psalm 145:19 says "He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them." I am maintaining a constant connection with God and I am totally leaning on Him. I talk to Him about my dreams but there are so many other things that I talk to Him about, such as: my finances, my children, for wisdom and understanding, and I am always giving thanks to Him for the blessings that He has bestowed upon me.
I do love the volunteer work that I am doing at Gateway in the single's ministry, as well as in the Hospitality department. It is a way for me to give back. I also have been staying in the word daily, which helps me stay positive and happy. I am also constantly staying accountable to Shelly and she is aware of my every action, honestly. She is also aware of my thoughts and feelings. I am proud to say that I am living a pure life, with no addictive behaviors. YAY ME!
