Confessions

 

 

I still struggle with food, portion control, and basic nutrition. Yesterday, I walked 7 miles, the longest I've walked ever. Later that night, I had two little plates of food plus uncounted nibbles. In hindsight, if I had stuck with the one plate, I'd feel fine today. I am not feeling great and it's because I didn't stop eating. After falling off the wagon, I am crawling back on with my head focused on healthy eating. 

Video about understanding weight loss

I watched this video yesterday during my walk and I'll probably watch it again. It's almost as if our unconscious brain is trying to get anyone who's lost weight back to being overweight. This battle will never end and its a tough pill to swallow sometimes.  

 

 

 

 

Peaceful

I have a confession to make. I am rarely satisfied with where I am in life. I am always looking to move forward and get somewhere else. I never take the time to enjoy where I am in the moment. To get places, there is a process. This journey called life is not to be taken for granted. God is patiently teaching me to relish the process and find contentment. I think I'm ready to move to the next job or the next city but God has different plans and timing than I do. It's a daily struggle for me and I am constantly reminding myself that God has great plans for me. Jeremiah 29:11 says, " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." NIV My struggle is not over. At times I feel that it's difficult to rein my mind onto positive thoughts. Thankfully God does not give up on me. Amen. END
