A New Day, A New Way...

It's been over a year since my last post.
Those were good days, but hard days. 
HCG is a diet that definitely gives you results,
but it's quite difficult to stick with.

I gained all of my 30 lbs back, plus another 10.

Yeah. Not a great thing to experience.

This time around things are different. I'm not trying to 
deprive myself of anything....I'm just trying to 
put God in the place that I've allowed food to be
for far too long. 

So far I've lost 23 lbs!
I'm pretty ecstatic about the progress I've made,
and even more proud of the fact that I think I'm finally 
getting it right! 

It's a marathon, not a sprint!
It's harder than all of the other times combined.
It's frustrating and easy to fall off of the wagon...
because it's a heart issue.
It's giving ALL of me to God, not just the 
convenient or easy parts.

"But Daniel resolved not to defile himself..."
                                                                                  Daniel 1:8

It's that simple. 
It's a choice.
Just because it's simple, doesn't mean it's easy,
but MAN are there great rewards!


"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
                                                               Hebrews 11:6


 I want it said of me that I earnestly 
sought him! 
 Not just in the areas that I felt comfortable.
Not just when it was easy or when I felt like it, 
but with my whole heart!
With my whole life!
With every area and in every way! 


For me, FOOD has met a need that God
has always wanted to meet.


What is is that YOU use to fill that void?  
  He wants it all. 
Every part.
