I love this blog- Peace With Food. So many times, we have given food power over us. It’s time to make peace and quit being so intimidated. Jesus came to set us free from our bondages, including bondage to food and diets. Check out this encouraging blog of my new friends, Lara and Robyn.

SEE NO EVIL
Hey you, . . . come here.
Look at me, don’t you see me?
Oh baby, don’t I look good.
You just want to eat me with a spoon.
I’m so sweet and creamy.
Come on now. You know you want me.
I’m waiting here just for you.
All alone here by myself,
the last of my sweetness.

The Old Chair
Lord, I just want to thank you for helping me kick that heavy woman out of my house. I couldn’t have done it without your help. I needed a lot of strength to get rid of her and You provided all that I needed.
This large woman liked to flirt with my hubby. She wanted to sit in his lap but wouldn’t because her heaviness would squash his legs and he couldn’t breathe. So she’d sit on the arm of his chair to flirt. One time she sat on the arm of his easy chair and she broke it. You could feel the broken board under the blue material. Continue reading
This is a wonderful success story from one of my favorite blogs. She gives wonderful advice. I just love her pictures. Isn’t it wonderful. Please check out her blog.
I have joined a writer’s group that submits a story every week based on a scripture cue. I would like to share them with you, although they won’t all relate to weight loss. Then again, they may. Hope you enjoy.
I have enjoyed writing for this group. My stories are a little odd, but I pray asking God for guidance each week. I also draw from my personal life/feelings as I write about the characters. It’s fun. I enjoy it.
The following story, although it’s about a prostitute’s journey, it does relate to my weight loss. For years I would worship God, ask Him to guide me to His will, and then I ran to my other lover, the pleasure of food. Yes, I admit my other lover was food pleasure. Therefore I sold out my body to another, I was a prostitute. Continue reading
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Tomorrow will be a great day! You will succeed! Don’t be intimidated by that table. All things in moderation, just eat half. You can do this, you can. Don’t be anxious. Know that God will provide the strength you need.
“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’ Numbers 6:24-26
Lord, help each one feel the Presence of Your love tomorrow. Bond families together in Your love. Let us focus on our thankfulness to You and each other, not the food on the table. Fill our spirits with Your love, amen.
LOVE TO YOU ALL!
Pay attention America.

Goodbye old friends. I’m going to miss you. For the last several years we’ve been together for the Christmas holidays. You went with me Christmas shopping, to Christmas parties, and to family gatherings. I have enjoyed you so much. You hung around me during my favorite time of the year. We have eaten together, opened presents together, and enjoyed our Christmas’ together.
But it is time to say goodbye. You have outgrown me, or rather I have undergrown you, and you no longer fit in my life. You’re bigger than I am. Continue reading
