Faithfully Fit

In the past two weeks I have been consistently using the book Faithfully Fit to do devotions on healthy eating. I am proceeding through the book slowly, but each and every devotional is freakishly on point. It's helping quite a bit. I have had had several moments where I have stopped, checked, and decided whether I was really hungry or not. Whether I was filling my God-hole with food. One time, I realized that was exactly what I was doing so I stopped, in the middle of my weekend, and did a devotional out of the book. Very helpful.

The past two weeks I have stayed within the WW program. I have never eaten outside my flex and activities points, although I'm not too happy about having to eat into my activity points. Alas, there have been too many nights out with friends and family dinners. Nonetheless, I have still lost.

At my weight-in today, I weighed exactly 180.0 -- that is, I've lost 2.8 lbs in 2 weeks and lost 25 lbs total. Rather then feeling relieved, though, I have a fear that I'll be falling off the wagon soon. I think that 180 lbs. is a barrier-number for me; I can't imagine actually being in the 170s. Sad, but true. I guess the next step is picturing myself actually being in the 170s and being that weight.

I leave you with this: if you are a Christian, you have at your access the greatest power in the universe. You can access the power of resurection, of life over death. Ephesians 1:18-19. Imagine the immense reserve we have, to draw upon in all situations, from this incredible power. The question is why we don't.
