“Discouraged” was written last month. Today is day 5 of victory. ________________________
Lord, I’m so discouraged.
My child, as you proceed, you will grow in confidence. As you learn, you will grow in confidence.
Am I too skinny?
My child, focus on obedience to Me and allow Me to be in control. I will decide where your weight needs to be. Continue reading Discouraged
Every now and then we fall. This picture is from a bicycle fall in May 2011. My weight loss plan then was to ride a bicycle to lose weight and get in shape.
With that fall, I got in a shape alright, ended up in surgery with added cadaver bone, 7 screws, a metal plate, physical therapy, and two months in a wheelchair. I think I’d call that “in a shape”.
Just recently I had a spiritual fall. It didn’t hurt as much physically, except Continue reading My Fall
Lord, I ate all the seafood last night. Well, I think I did leave one bite, but I lost my focus. Now this morning I’m bloated. How can I lose weight eating like this? What do I do? Do I start over again since I ate all the seafood?
Wait until you are hungry before you eat again. You didn’t eat all the meal, only the seafood. My child, I want you to hunger for Me.
Lord, do I give up breaded fried foods too?
My child, it won’t hurt you.
Lord, I’ve already given up sweets.
My child, I gave up ALL for you. Do you think giving up fried foods or sweets is too much for you to sacrifice?
Sigh. No, Sir.
Then do it. Remember . . . focus on My Presence, not your food.
Yes Sir.
Renew your focus. Keep looking at Me. Your mistake at last night’s supper was not eating the food. No, it started when you looked at the food and your heart filled with desire. I want you to desire Me more than your food. Desire Me, My child, and you will be blessed beyond your comprehension, more than a seafood meal.
Yes Sir. Help me keep my eyes on You and Your will with all I say and do, including the food I eat.
Lord, I’m having company for supper and serving their favorite- fried pork chops. What do I eat?
My child, I will lead you at that moment in time. I want your focus not on meal planning, but rather on seeking Me- My Presence. Focus on Me and I will lead you to your victory.

Sweets: 
Lord, I read my food journal and realized I had peach cobbler with ice cream without thinking. It was only two spoonful’s, but none the less it was dessert. I thought I had made it 9 days without desserts. Lost my victory. Continue reading Victory, Weight Loss, & Blessings
Day 1- Lord, I think I over ate at supper. I know I did. How will my reach my weight loss goal if I keep this up? I wanted to eat everything. It was hard not to. I was hungry and could have inhaled it. But extra food won’t help me with losing weight. And I know I need to drink more water, but that’s hard for me too. Continue reading Losing Weight & Blessings
(This post is not about weight loss or counseling, but due to a request from a dear blog friend. She writes about life from the other side of the world and keeps her identity hidden. But you can check out her blog: https://susieshy45.wordpress.com
Lord, my friend asks, “How do you hear from God?” What do I tell her?
Tell her to listen for My quiet voice of love spoken deep within her heart. Listen for My words calling her name. Tell her to answer, “Lord, here I am,” and I will speak to her heart. I am calling her now. Tell her I never yell or scream. Tell her to listen for the still quiet voice. Tell her that I love her more than she’ll ever know.

I’ve been reading a lot of blogs that encourage you to share your link and connect with others. Good idea!
A few days ago, I wrote about my latest weight loss counseling session with the Lord. He instructed me to follow a new food plan.
First, give up my desserts for 40 days. Then the most important part, ask Him for advice before eating my meals. This new food plan is called ASK because that’s the focus, ask God first, and seek His will concerning my food plan.
Several people said they wanted to join me. That’s good, because if 
God delivered me of over 90 pounds (94), He’ll deliver you too.
You must talk to my weight loss counselor. He’s the best. Highly recommended. His plan worked for me, why not you too?

I share my story because I want others to find the same victory God has graciously given to me.
After seeking God’s direction for this evening, it just occurred to me, why don’t we form a support group to encourage each other?

______________________
No diets and no judgments, this is not a diet group. The point of this is to seek God’s will concerning your food. God has a plan for you, a plan for a hope and a future. Yes, even a food plan for you.
We can share with one another how God is leading you to eat, but we won’t tell each other what to eat.
Post your food plan for today (or just that you had victory today) in the comments. Write a blog post about it and post your link so we all can connect and support each other on to victory.

Lord, I made a pact with another to eat no desserts for a week. I kept my promise, but I didn’t lose any weight. Well, maybe a pound.
Then the week was over and I ate a couple of mini-ice creams in one day. Gained that one pound back.
Lord, I was at a 93 pound loss and Continue reading New Food Plan
Happy Father’s Day Lord.
Woke up this morning singing,
“You’re a good, good Father.
It’s who You are. It’s who You are.
You’re a good, good Father.”
Thank you Lord for being my Heavenly Father and all You have done for me.
