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.

What's up?

I think that when I reached my goal weight this time around at LA Weightloss, I just went CRAZY with all of the fun food that I felt that I had been deprived of. Last time I was in LA Weightloss (about 2 years ago) and reached goal weight (which was 10 pounds heavier than most recent goal weight) I had a lot more self control.

They say that those who are in addiction, when relasping, the addictive behavior, once relapsed, comes back more forcefully and more quickly.

Beginning Oct 1, I quit the trigger foods that cause me to spin out of control (see mandates #1 and #2 below) and this has helped me be more in control.

Currently I am out of town and do not have a scale, but I believe I am above the 5 pound weight range from the goal weight, so that if I went back for a follow-up visit to LA Weightloss at this time, I would need to go back to the diet and get back within range.

I'll be back in town tomorrow. I am hoping to go back on the LA Weightloss then. I have a follow-up visit for Thursday. If I am still above goal weight range, I think I will just follow their advice as to what to do next. Then, once I am back in goal weight range, not go crazy with my eating behavior but continuing to follow the three basic mandates:

no concentrated sweets
no excess fullness when eating
4-6 hours exercise per week (as permitted - not a cardinal rule)

That is the plan for now.

Staying within 5 lbs of your goal weight sounds awesome to me - being that I am still 30 lbs from my goal weight - I am jealous! :) But I know that I can get there - it is just taking soooooooo long!

And if no one has said it in awhile - you have been an inspiration to keep going :) And I pray that God leads you to a place where there is such peace about you being you - no matter what you weigh - as that is my heart's cry also...yes, I feel He is encouraging me to slim down and be healthy and use self-control and conquer addictions - but He wants me to see what He values on the inside of me too ;)

you are His treasure - remember :O)
