Well I am just not happy to report this week. I thought about not even joining in but then I thought that would not be "real" and we all are here to encourage one another on and for accountability. So, with that said I did not do too well this week.
You know that commercial, "No one can eat just one," well, that is precisely what happened. Then it was combined with the big "PMS." I was just doomed to fall.
We were away this weekend for a women's retreat. Eating was not good for me there. All portion control and eating only when I was hungry went out the window.
God has reminded me that I was bought for a price. I need to be a good steward of this body of mine. So, after five days of bad. Today is a new day. I am moving forward with that in mind. I hope to have a better report next week.

It's so easy to excuse excess and justify it, isn't it? I don't mean to sound harsh, but that's what we all do from time to time, isn't it. I'm as guilty as anyone. Every time I think about screwing up, I'm so ashamed that I'm not caring better for my 'vessel.' You and I, we're going to remind ourselves of that EACH.AND.EVERY.TIME we put food into our mouths this week!!! And we will pray. I told myself last week that I was going to pray before each meal, not just being thankful for the food, but requesting wisdom to recognize when I'd had enough. I failed here big time. I completely forgot about my promise. We can do this, Angela! We can remember how wonderfully made we are and that doing right by our bodies is glorifying to God. We CAN remember!!!
We all have days where we have just made a mess of things. Just cross off those days and start with a clean page today. Don't load yourself up with guilt. The enemy is just waiting to tear into you. And don't stay away. I bet that was his doing too.
I predict good things for you this week! Go!

When we fall off the horse we just have to pick ourselves up and get back on. You can do it girl!!
Hugs,

My prayers are so with you. I have certainly been there but like my hubby says, "if you fall off a horse, you have to climb back on again right away or you'll lose your courage".
God Bless You and have a God filled week!
I remember being in the kitchen once and remembering that slogan, "Betcha can't eat just one!" I looked into the open bag of chips and said, "Betcha I can!" And I did!
Bet you can too!! Don't give up, get up and kick some but this week.
We all have bad days- the important thing is that you start this day fresh and you are!
I am glad that you joined in, despite the temptation not to. You are right...WE NEED THIS each and every week to stay accountable and focused. I thank you for all your precious words of encouragement over the past several weeks, and I hope you hear my LOUD AND CLEAR when I say YOU CAN DO THIS GIRLFRIEND!! Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get RIGHT BACK ON!!! I am praying for you and rooting you on!
How about that??? Karen and I said almost the exact same thing...
(Can you tell we're sisters???)
HAVE A GREAT DAY! ;-)
I do that more often than I wish. It's remembering to get up and back on track afterwards!
i have been hogging down all week with PMS i was like what is wrong with me and then I realized!!
So glad you chose to be accountable. I thought about not posting this week either because I hadn't made the best choices, but decided I was going to then weighed this morning and found a loss.
It is so good that you posted anyway. I really admire that. You are doing great!!
you are right today is a new day! you can do it! dd
Oh yes just ONE more Black Liquorish!! I totally understand but don't beat yourself up lady. Like Valleygirl said - WE can do this!!!!
Blessings sweet one!
You know, by stepping out of accountability we just give the enemy one more thing he can hold over our heads! So, I say YAY Angela! for standing up and saying it like it was and getting right back up to do better this upcoming week.
And, you know, as much as I enjoy women's retreats....why do they have to be so much about the FOOD when so many women struggle with their weight? Wouldn't it be a blessing to be at a women's retreat where all the choices were healthy ones? How about overdosing on celery sticks, you know? :-)
Blessings,

Don't be too hard on yourself. You're doing great!! For me, the knowing what I need to do is half the battle and you've won that part.
Sometimes I think it's good to splurge a little. It doesn't make you feel like you are deprived and it helps keep you sane!!
It's a new day today. Just take it a day at a time and you will do awesome!!
Angela, I saw your comment on LPM and crossed over to your blog - good stuff! Have you done Beth's DANIEL biblestudy? I am facilitating it right now and God has spoken to me so LOUDLY about my own babylon. My mindset has been that if it is there it is my right to eat it! and that is my over abundant Babylon. Now as I start to eat, I ask myself if I am indulging in abundance or if I am hungry and need to eat. It has delivered me from an addiction to food, I believe. The enemy loves whispering about the food to me and yet, as you stated, my body is His temple! The taste of walking in the "sweet spot" of His will is the best!!
blessings!
