Today is the first day

Amazeofgrace · 07-23-2007, 05:54 PM

I am so exciting to see there is a Christian forum!!!! Today is the first day on my "diet"! I was so encouraged to see that people are here to pray for each other as this is definately a struggle in my daily walk. I thought this would be the best way to meet some people and I will go from there.

Hi

Amazeofgrace!

I'm pretty new here myself and I totally feel the same about this place.
We're all here for the same thing, to uplift, encourage and pray for each other in the Lord.
I believe the Lord will bless you and give you His grace as you start changing your way of eating. You can do this, like Eph 4:13 says!.
God Bless, and write anytime!
Diana

Thanks for your response Diana! How did you do this week? I lost 11 pounds and I am pretty excited about that!!!! Funny I have prayed out loud this week..."Lord please do not let me put that in my mouth!" You know He hasn't!!! This has truly been a struggle for me as I have found comfort in food for so many years for various problems. When I should have been hiding in the secret place for comfort from my Heavenly Father. Thanks for your response, I truly appreciate it. I will continue to strive on this plan as I am wonderfully made in His image. Have a great day!

Hi

WTG!

It's so easy do to do things when the Lord is in our life, isn't it.
I'm so glad to hear the you lost 11lbs, doesn't that feel good!
I have been trying to lose 4 lbs to move me past 30 lbs. I know what I'm doing that is slowing me down and that's eating that Breyer's sugar free ice cream. I need to lay off of it, but it's sooo good!
Well keep up the good work, and please feel free to write/respond any time.
Diana

Hi Amazeofgrace,

God Bless,

Amazeofgrace, how are you doing with this WOE? Losing 11 lbs. the first week IS amazing! I am losing much slower, but I love the lack of hunger. I never thought that I would stay with this so long, but this WOE is the only way of life for me from now on. When I eat carbs, then I want everything and am never satisfied. On Atkins/Low Carb, I don't have that cravings at all. It's just unbelievable to me that I am able to do this! I thank God for leading me to this board and this WOE.
If you fell off the program, just get back on. All of us have days we eat too much or eat the wrong thing, but if you stay with this, you will be rewarded. There are a ton of recipes. Except for the wonderful pizza that I make on Fridays, I don't think that I have made the same recipe twice. Oh yes, the PMS peanut butter cups; I have made those twice. Yum.
Explore the recipes; they are wonderful. I love the challenge of making new recipes; there's almost nothing that we can't have low-carb!
Please post again so we can help you any way that we can. God only wants the best for us. I felt that was a great WOE to avoid diabetes and many future health problems from obesity and all of the problems with sugar.
We hope to hear from you! Blessings in Christ, LaRae

Thank you for your kindness and prayers..I have had some health issues and I would appreciate your continued prayers. I didn't just fall off the wagon, in all honesty I just quit. My husband is doing this with me now for himself and some moral support. I have a hard time doing exercise because I have a hard time breathing. Please keep me in your prayers. I truly appreciate them. I am now doing a version of low fat and lower carbs so we will see how this goes. I am not defeated!
