some of my mantra scriptures, which i was just saying on the treadmill, are:
God is my refuge and strength(mighty and impenetrable to temptation)a very present and well-proved help in trouble.
-Psalm 46:1
Everything is permissible for me; but not all things are helpful.
Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power.
-1 Corinthians 6:12
i used to be a slave to sweeets. if i ate one cookie, i could not get my mind off of them until they were all gone. all sweets were like that for me. the serving size was the package, dozen doughnuts, bag of caramels, etc. i gave up what i call hard core sweets march 1992. since then i have eaten granola bars or a fat free or sugar free treat. it’s funny, i don’t know if i could handle one chocolate chip cookie now or not. i bake them for my family and other goodies and it’s just not an option. i don’t even touch the healthy ones i make for them, because it’s just not worth the mental and eventually physical pain of eating them. before i gave up sweets, my weight fluctuated 40lbs up then down, then up then down, repeat. after i gave them up it fluctuated maybe 20lbs. after i added exercise on a regular basis it fluctuated 10 and now i’m at maintenance and my top is 5lbs over my low. little by little step by step. it truly is a journey. God’s grace got me here, and His grace will keep me here, because I sure haven’t done it on my own. but i do think he expects us to do our part.
i don’t know if that’s motivating, but it’s what worked for me and it’s what i focus on now- God.
id love to hear what you eat in a day
tks hon

Blessings!
Me too. I pray for all my buddies daily!
