No More
Tuesday morning at work I was struggling with my feelings over my weight loss. I know I should be really happy about losing 20
pounds so far. However, I was struggling with the fact that the weight is coming
off so slow. I know I am gaining muscle, and that weighs more than the fat.
However, I was thinking too bad we can’t lose at least 5 pounds a week. I know I am still
focusing on the scale, but it is extremely hard on me to stop that. I was actually crying at times that morning over this. I want to be able to truly celebrate my successes,
without this getting in the way. So I reached out to Frank and Rose for prayer. They graciously agreed to do so, and emailed me words of encouragement. I am so thankful they cared. By that afternoon, I began to feel and think differently. There is power in prayer!! No more am I going to allow the scale to rob me of celebrating my successes. I am changing in strength and in appearance. I am doing workouts that I did not think I could do. There is a lot to celebrate and be thankful for. No more will the scale determine my success!!

Toni don't forget that in losing weight it has to be done safely and properly. The goal of the program is an average of about 3.5 per week. Males usually lose more than females. As you go through the program your metabolism will change which will affect your weight loss. You really aren't completely in charge of the weight loss that you need to leave to God which is where all results need to be left to. Our concentration needs to be on our obedience just like everywhere else. If you do the food and exercise work you are to do than be grateful to God for the results He will give you.
