M2C Monday

this is short and sweet..

Over a year ago i met with my doctor, and i was at 196 pounds then. Slowly i made some changes, but my relationship with food was still pretty binding. i guess if we count way back then, i am already down 20 pounds :). Since January, i have been much more intentional. Working through M2C has made me realize that God must be the One who fulfills my cravings.

i have had a lot going on, but the lifestyle changes i have made are staying put, Praise the Lord!!

weighed-in at the doctor's office on the 15th, Thursday.....

Ready??

on February 17th i was at 179.1.
On March 15th i was at 176.6!!
 (and i have not shopped at Old Navy for months!)

YAY!!!

So, so thankful that God is working so much change in my heart regarding my relationship with food and shopping at Old Navy!

Made to Crave Monday (M2C Monday)

179.1 on February 17

Here we are... i missed last week of blogging, as i had sick kids. Friday i took Jey to the doc, since he was complaining of an earache. Yep, ear infection. While there, i took the opportunity to weigh myself on the scale at my doctor's (upstairs from Pediatrics).

i had no expectations, as it had only been 17 days since i had last weighed-in.

coat and shoes off.

step on scale....

179.1!! WOW! i was down from 181.4 on January 31st.

so, so thankful for all the changes that God has wrought in my heart these past months. He is all to me. I am able to see food as fuel, and NOT as my comforter.

Blessed be the name of the Lord!

I did have an interesting moment a week ago...
i have been eating smaller portions since i have been listening to my body to see when i am satisfied. One evening, i served myself dinner, and was already planning seconds while my first portion was still on my plate. I didn't quite finish my 1st serving, when i realized i was more than satisfied.. i was  FULL! I couldn't have eaten another bite! There went my big plans for seconds :)  This was interesting to me because it seemed like in just one day my stomach shrank!!

i am grateful.

Next week, more from the book :)
