All glory to God for our weight loss :-) I started fasting a meal a day a year ago. I said a simple prayer BEFORE this happened. \\"Lord help me in my self-control in everything. Amen\\". Within a week although it was not conscious I dropped a meal during the day and instead I did bible study and ministered on facebook. Often the time would run over my normal mealtime and I wouldn\\\'t feel hungry. Praise the Lord. I know now that I was comfort eating out of long time habit. The scripture you posted Shoritta \\"no longer conform but be renewed\\" was the scripture put on my heart. In Jesus we are born into new life and that means the old MUST pass away. God knows I am not drawn towards copious exercise yet not consciously I seek to walk from my car instead of parking the car right outside the store. I love to walk in my compound here in Bahrain and now a lovely park has been built ideal for walking amongst God\\\'s beauty :-) My weight originally was 173lbs and now I am at 149 lbs which is a weight loss of 52.8lbs. My husband\\\'s compliment (he too has a metabolism like your husband\\\'s) said it all and has been worth every bite not taken. He said \\"I am so proud of the way you look now and your determination to maintain your weight - looking good :-).\\" We broke up for a year and half when my husband strayed and now I see it as a huge blessing, a wake up call that helped me to find the beautiful ME again that God saw all the time. Praise His Holy and Wonderful Name. God is going on to do even greater things in me and it has been put on my heart today to address this issue of weight amongst the leaders in our church and to put this on facebook for my sisters and brothers in Christ, just as it was put on your heart Shoritta, through your testimony here to many. God led me to you today through this wonderful vehicle to spread the Gospel - the internet :-). You can find me under Susan Avril Hughes on facebook should you wish to connect. God Bless, Susan Hi there Shorrita :-) I am going to use your testimony on my facebook. All glory to God for our weight loss :-)
