New day, new outlook, new plans,

Never say quit, never give up or give in,  I will not allow what I consume to consume me. 

I have to eat (for the most part)low carb because of the hives.  They are so uncomfortable that I am not tempted to indulge in the breads and/or anything that has grains on or in it.    I eat too much, when I am not watching what I eat being as careful as a warden in a prison, then I over eat.    I hate knowing that if I indulge in the short term I will pay for it in the long term.   I hate knowing and admitting that food or anything of this world has such a control over me.

 I think for me since I eat fairly low carb all the time, in order for me to get a grip on my eating I need to count calories.    I have to be able to say to myself , there is the number and after that number you are done for the day.  When this stops working I will shake it up and go a different route.  But wheather we go this route or that route, our destination is the same-healthy body, weight loss, energy to keep up with what we have to do each day, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, less chance of heart attack, less chance of stroke, less chance of, or lower diabetes, less chance of altzimers,less chance of obesity related cancers.  And being able to fit in that pretty blue dress that my dd gave me.  (just 10 pounds should get me in it) So short term goal is 10 pounds. 

Thank you Deb and Josie for your loving response to my last post.  I really needed to hear what you said, I prayed a lot and asked The Lord to guide me and help me in ALL areas.  I love you both and I am so grateful that I "met" you and that you are my sisters in the Lord.  I value your prayers and wisdom.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death; I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: thou anointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life; and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord for ever.


Have a wonderful and safe day
God bless
