For Women Only: An Ordinary Woman's Diet, Fitness, Weight and Beauty Log and Diary: Hunger Pains

For Women Only: An Ordinary Woman's Diet, Fitness, Weight and Beauty Log and Diary

I want to glorify Christ in my body, and I am learning how to do that. My name means "womanly," but what does that mean? When I became a new wife and Christian, I went on a mission to understand Biblical womanhood, focusing on her from the inside. In more recent years, as my body succumbed to the pull of glutony, gravity and aging, I am focusing as well on my physical appearance. I am learning how God would have me live as a beautiful woman (and aren't we all?) in this world for His glory.

Hunger Pains

or little gain.

So I decided that I did not have the mental energy to get to 145 on my own, and did go back to LA Weightloss.

LA WEGHTLOSS dieting formally began yesterday as far as my "Gold Plan" goes. And this I learned yesterday-I wasn't losing weight because I was EATING TOO MUCH!

On the little booklet that I write in all that I ate, there is a little spot for "activity" and because of that little blank I was motivated to go exercise last PM. I went bike riding and only had to avoid one car. They don't see bikes.

I had been feeling badly because I had to be part of a "program." Then I realized that for tons of years I have beeen part of a formal Bible Study because I need the structure. So what? So I need a program for eating and exercise? I can live with that. What is my life to me anyway? Isn't it the Lord's and doesn't He pour it out for whatever He wants and to whoever He wants? I can live with this. Now, to learn to live with hunger pains.....

Stayed thin most of my life, even after having 4 kids! But am currently more than 40 lbs overweight (Dad died, stress, emotional eating, genetics, age..all those things related!)

I have been trying to get this weight off (on and off) over the last 3 years..but having a super hard time this time...SO, I am so glad that you are blogging re: "diet" issues from a Christian perspective as well!!!

Don't feel bad re: being apart of a "program" - I think it is great...it provides accountability, support, advice, and motivation!! Something we all need in our lives!!

Anyway, it will be great to share with someone else my ups and downs as well!! So thanks a million for doing this!!
And I'll be praying for you girl!! And please PRAY FOR ME :)

About Me

Name: An Ordinary Christian

Location: Los Angeles,, California, United States

I am an "ordinary Christian". In this world I may be, as all of God's children, extraordinary (Gen 1:27). In Christ I can do extraordinary things (Phil 4:13). But I like to identify myself as an ordinary Christian because I want to serve Christ according to the pleasure of His will, as His bondservant, as a slave, one owned by her Master. As such, every extraordinary thing I may do in Christ is standard fare, expected and a reasonable service of worship. With my view of Christ on my cross, I do not evaluate my service according to my own judgment. I do not choose to think of myself more highly than I ought, but rather I want to think of myself with sober judgment (Rom 12:3). Anything good I do is by the grace of Christ given me. I have no ability to measure what I do or don't do. I desire for my eye to be single and good. This is why I am an ordinary Christian. After all, Paul called himself "chief of sinners." Is it anything unreasonable to be known as an ordinary Christian?
