I must confess right now that I have been stagnant since March. I just quite trying to lose. I have been through some struggles with bad habits creeping back up. As a result, my self worth has wavered big time. I started to see myself the way I was 50 pounds ago. I've been having feelings like my weight loss has not been enough and I'm not enough. And I think we all know that especially with food addicts - negative motivation does not work!! I finally let go a couple of weeks ago and shared my struggle with food and my weight with my new small group from church. The girls were amazing and really built me up. I took the risk of letting 5 girls in on my weakness and now I have 5 extra people praying for me and lifting me up. I have really had to give this struggle to God EVERYDAY. In the past few weeks, I have prayed fervently for him to deliver me from overeating! I CANT DO THIS ON MY OWN!! I need him and I need others!! I only gained about 4 or 5 pounds in that time - but it was enough to make me feel horrible about myself. Now, I just Praise God and thank him that he didnt allow me to get out of control and that he has brought me back. I just weighed myself and I am back down. His grace and power is the only way I can describe how I have come around this corner. Prayer works people! We cant do this alone. Jesus died so that we wouldnt have to be slaves to sin and addictions! He is the only one who can really change our lives! Thanks for taking me back!
