:beer: Goodbye February :happydance: Dancing the Irish jig for you .... HELLO, it's March, "Kiss Me, I'm Irish"

Green Beer, fun times. But, the most important thing is the new me coming round.

 

:bookread: Ok, stay seated, News Flash,,,,News Flash,,,,News Flash,,,News Flash,,,News Flash,,,News Flash

 

I have prayed and prayed about trying to get this weight off. I am in a position where it is hard to exercise. But, I am trying to figure out what I can try to do. I have a tape where I can sit in my wheelchair or lift chair and do a few things. Anyway, I started NutriSystems. It arrived on Ash Wednesday. That was a "God Thing" ..... I know Through Christ, All Things Are Possible. This is something I really want. I truly do. Since November or so, I have really been going through rough times and I am tired of them. I want to rise above it. Anyway, I thought, wow, Lent..... forty days, forty nights, what a perfect time to start this new way of life for me. Besides, I never got to Weight Watchers. :( But, God had other plans for me.

I like the food so far. My new thinking is simple .... it's I LIVE TO EAT, NOT LOVE TO EAT. I need to nourish my body and this stress eating has to end. This emotional eating, eat when I am happy, eat when I am sad. no more.

I am going to be a Warrior of my body. Getting healthy is on my list.

 

I wasn't going to share this in my Blog, I have written numerous posts, but deleted all of them.

Then after praying all day, I said this is crazy. I want to be accountable to others. My Bible Study Gals, Kathy and Debbie, are on the same page with me. How about you all? I have made a contract with myself, to be good to myself, to just take it one second at a time, as it didn't come on me over night, many years. I have had a problem with my weight since grade school. I am writing down what I am eating.

The food truly isn't bad. This I am so greatful for. I had pizza tonight for dinner. Lawdy, one or two bites and it was gone. But, at least it was pizza, cheese pizza, it was flatbread pizza. So, it looks like things I like to eat are included.

Who knows, maybe I will be in an informical with Marie Osmond. :roflmao:

Anyway, I need to finish my contract to myself so I will get going.

Take care and I invite you to travel my journey with you all.

 

God Bless, Hugs, Believe In Miracles And SOAR :)

Good Blog, but if getting healthy is on your list then may I suggest changing that one line to read I eat to live otherwise we die, starve to death. Nothing can survive without food. So don't live to eat or love to eat. Leave the loving to your heart like God and love everybody. He does. Make sense?

 

There is a gadget in the books they have at therapy you attach to your wheel chair to make it like riding a bike. See if your insurance will cover it. I had one at first that was rented then VA gave me an exercise bike and scooter.

 

If that plan with food is the same I see on TV, it sounds expensive to me? I'm pulling for you my friend!

Jan,

 

I'm pulling for you as well dear. Fred is right - eat to live not live to eat. I wish you all the best - it's good the food is tasty. Many many moons ago I tried nutri-system and i was some kind of nasty - to give the food "taste" they smothered it in all kinds of spices that were way to difficult for my digestive system to handle. Glad to see they've improved. You go Girl - you'll be the featured dancer of the Strokettes.

Hi Jan!

 

I pray for peace for you. keep seeking His Will. keep seeking His strength to come upon you that you may accomplish His Will for you. Remember at Gethsemane Christ prayed to the Father that if it be possible let Him not drink from the cup, but that NONE-THE-LESS the Father's Will be done!

 

And remember that it is in our weakness where he is strong.

 

Thy Will, not mine, be done.

 

I will keep praying for you sister.

 

 

Brian
