This has been about a 6 year journey for me; possibly longer, but I haven’t finished my coffee yet, so my brain is refusing to think back that far this early! 🤣
I have continually gotten frustrated over the years, “why can’t I loose the weight?”, “what am I missing?”, “why isn’t this working?” Blah blah blah.
I’d do a little bit of movement or walking, but the majority of my time was on my butt- in an office chair, on the couch, at the dining room table.
“I’m eating better, why won’t the weight come off?!”, but I wasn’t adding in the random snacking through out the day. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, and too much of a bad thing is really bad…😅
This morning, as I stood on the scale bewildered and happy to see another almost half a pound gone, I started to think it’s a miracle that everything I’ve been doing is finally working 😅 thought, but then it was like I got a gentle nudge from God, “Baby girl. Think about it.” So I did. It’s not a miracle, though I know my Father is still working them, it’s that I finally learned self control and discipline. I stopped making excuses. I finally chose to truly trust Him with my trauma, my shame & guilt from past eating disorders, truly check myself and asked forgiveness for my laziness (I definitely got lazy and into some major denial about that). And He gave me the strength to push through all of it.
I’m not perfect, I’m not there yet, I’ve made mistakes and there’s been reflections of that, but I haven’t given up this time and it’s showing. ♥️

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24).
“Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone” (1 Thessalonians 5:14, NLT).
“I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]” (Philippians 4:13 AMP)
