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.

Wow...

I did my LA check in and dropped weight and inches, and I was kind of surprised by the jump. Now I have about three weeks "off" from the program, because I am going on this big trip with my daughter.....Oh my.

Yesterday I had a Sundae and tonight I had half of my son's McFlurry and the rest of his icee.

I cried out to God, "Help me!" and tried to make it from my super inner being as much as possible, because I was reminded, "Oh yeah, this is where I came from. This is where He picked me up. I am still an obese person, on the inside, who thinks like an obese person and eats like an obese person. It is because of Christ that He did set me free. I remember now. I am hopeless and desperate. I, this person, who I really am, can not be "thin" on my own. It is Christ in me who is my life. He is the One who has redeemed me from my pit. He is the One who has restored me. Oh yeah, I remember now."

So, that is where I am at. So much that I want to say. I hope that you all who comment in will forgive me if I don't get back to you and "return your calls." It's just that, for me, first of all this is a journal, that I enjoy and love having you peer into, but if I only write in it when I can answer the calls, then I won't be keeping tabs the way I want to for this part of my journey. Well, Kimber, since you are the only one who follows me, in terms of writing, I guess, this doesn't apply that much, but maybe I'll copy these same few lines for my other blog.

God bless.

WONDERFUL! I LOVE THE COMPANY and the fact that you don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do, because I have hang-ups with that, which you DO NOT need to worry about or think about.
