Debbie Cousins's Journal, 23 Jan 19

Yesterday, I went to the Primary Care Physician I have been seeing for about 35 years (EXCEPT last year, when the insurance wouldn't cover him!) I was so excited to get to back to this doctor, and to see his reaction to my weight loss! His nurse has been with him for over 20 years, I think. She looked at me all wide-eyed when she saw me. When the doctor came in, he said, "I was sitting in my office when Arlene took you back to the room. I saw you and said, 'Oh, Good Lord, please don't let her have cancer!'" Having known me all this time, I don't guess it had occurred to him that I could have lost the weight by TRYING to! LOL! He is a great guy, and I was very proud to find out that I've lost 37 POUNDS since I was last there 13 months ago! He said I look great, and he wanted to know if it was okay to share my story with other patients who are trying to lose weight. God is good! I'm so thankful for His help in overcoming the temptation for sweets, breads and Diet Coke! Today is the 23rd day I've gone without any of those, and I'm quite happy. I've had a couple moments of temptation; but so far, I have not yielded to it. Psalm 46:1 - "God is our refuge and strength - a very present help in time of need."
