It's Not What I'm Eating, It's What's Eating Me?!?

Does this ring any bells? So, I feel like I'm going to have a great day and stay on track with healthy eating....I've got my meals planned for the day, came out of the bedroom 25 lunges in the books and bammmm!!! the phone rings! Nothing major, but stressful none the less. Hang up the phone and look at the screen; exactly 1 minute and 39 sec. for the call and I realized I had just inhaled 2 granola bars and half a banana!!! May not sound like the snack that wrecked the day's diet, however, it was not in the day's plans...In other words, I devoured roughly 340 calories that I had not planned for!!! And, to top that, it was only 8:48am!!!! What's a girl to do? I'm tired of turning to food for comfort, to cure my boredom, pass the time, celebrate virtually everything right down to "the sun is shining today, let's go out to eat!!!" When? When? When? will I learn how to "feed" these feelings without food? I deserve better and so does every person who happens on this blog....
It will be my mission, my passion, my job to pour over the research and find some solutions!!!..So join me won't you, we'll tackle this topic head on at this week's meetings and learn how to "Eat to Live, and not "Live to Eat!"
Hope to see you!
Love,
Julie

Day Eight- Proverbs 3:6

"Seek His will in all you do, and He will keep your paths straight." Proverbs 3:6 Have you had an encounter with a pothole lately. Thankfully, I have not. But my husband drives a thirty-five minute stretch of interstate 75 everyday, and he says it's full of them. "And they get worse everyday." Hmm, sounds a little like my battles in weight loss and life sometimes?! Although my husband, is a very careful and focused driver, these skills are not even enough to avoid the potential of falling prey to another pothole. How does he do it? "By keeping my eyes on the driver I am following." "If he hits one, I can swerve and miss it, if he doesn't, I just follow right along." A two-fold message for me: First, follow the ones who have been there, they can help you avoid the pitfalls and potholes. Learn from their mistakes. Seek their counsel, friendship and accountability. Got a friend who has maneuvered a "pothole" successfully? And now y

Malachi 3:6 Do you have "issues?"

"I am the Lord thy God, and I do not change. That is why you, the descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 Do you have "issues?" Most of us can answer that question with a resounding "YES, with a capital YES!" But have we ever really thought about why we have "issues?" Most of us have "issues" of one form or another because of chaos and change in our lives where there should have been consistencey and peace. A lack of stability, where a firm foundation should have been laid. Fear, where safety should have existed. The absence of love, where there should have been an abundance. Because, "issues" have touched all of us God reminds us in His word that He does not change! He is " the same, yesterday, today and forever ." Hebrews 13:8 God offers me the consistency and stability I need. There is no need for me to attempt to create it on my own, He is ready and waiting to give it to me. Did you know th
