I needed this blog post and that sermon, I've been focusing on exercise so much more lately, this served as a good motivator to keep working hard.

You blog is hitting home for me today...My goodness. You blog is hitting home for me today like no other. I often read your blog for Family and child rearing tips (not a mom yet but i'm hopefully god will bless us soon). and often i disagree on some of your families views but i figure god made us all different for a reason and that shouldn't stop me from enjoying your blog and learning from such an experienced women and momma. But this blog today was a slap in the face (in the best way) for me. That list from AA that you altered hit home i tell ya. It's such a great way of looking at it. Food has always been a struggle for me. I'm a smart educated women and I know overeating is not what i should be doing and i have been making great strides to eat more organic nutrient rich foods in our home. but organic and natural still has calories so slow changes are whats happening. but this list ... i tell ya its a good one. thanks for the dose of reality. i appreciate!!Chrisitne Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655473254987764963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-37604831118907089482017-05-04T19:45:51.579-07:002017-05-04T19:45:51.579-07:00You wrote this article for me!! :) Great stuff, th...You wrote this article for me!! :) Great stuff, thank you!!<br /><br />I experience exactly what you describe - any weight lost is that lost at birth, and the rest just stays there forever. Very exasperating, especially as a friend of mine told me that all of hers (and more) came off with just breastfeeding! Ack! :)<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement - I need it!<br /><br />I just read an awesome book - "The Obesity Code." It's all about the history of weight problems in the U.S. (and worldwide), and has so much awesome information and insight. I'm trying some of its techniques to see if they help too. <br /><br />Thanks for posting!!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301075330910381544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-62083082715601104172017-05-04T15:56:22.568-07:002017-05-04T15:56:22.568-07:00You're doing great!

Looking at your Easter post, I was thinking Wow! She looks like she has more energy and has lost weight! THEN I saw your weight loss post. Congratulations!!<br /><br />3. Since it's on the topic, I've been wondering if your husband has done a sermon mentioning eating disorders? I 'had' eating disorders for most of my life and not only did I CHOOSE that lifestyle, no matter how compelled I felt or how natural it felt to me(despite being unnatural) it was a very sinful, depraved lifestyle. (so many similarities to sodomy) No matter how much counseling, etc, I only ever found relief through Jesus, and I would relapse when I neglected to read the Bible or listen to sermons or pray. When I went back to the Word, it literally felt like filling a starving belly and was truly nourishment for my bones. I only ever heard any preaching on 'eating disorders' once in my life....<br /><br />4. It is SO hard feeding my family and trying to control myself too. If you ever get the opportunity, could you post a mention on how you survived when you had only toddlers and babies and (I think) your husbands erratic work schedule? I REALLY struggle with timing. o_0<br /><br />Thank you so much for these posts!

Saying no to ourselves when there is plenty to go around and then some is difficult but it can be done. For me, I need to get into a certain headspace for losing weight or it won't work for me. I usually need 2 to 3 months to convince myself. I know that may sound odd to some people, but it's how I am. Anything I have ever been successful at, I have "headspaced" for a time beforehand and it's taught me to be less impulsive with other things in my life and that getting what I want takes time and effort.Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473901977522351950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-46932225151890218612017-05-03T20:46:45.468-07:002017-05-03T20:46:45.468-07:00Excellent article!

Everything here is so true and motivating!<br />Another way that being overweight can effect your family (and I have known more than one family who has experience this problem) is in your senior years. Grandma cannot go to live with her kids or grandkids because she is too heavy for them to take care of her (they physically can't dress her or help her to the restroom, etc.)so she has to spend her final days confined in a facility. Such a sad end!Sister in the Mid-westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722857613417332832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-3354202920241254042017-05-03T12:51:16.177-07:002017-05-03T12:51:16.177-07:00I choose losing weight.

I am 2 months post partum and this morning looked in the mirror like "i can't keep putting it off & ignoring it" and lo, your blog post was perfect timing. It aint easy, but neither is being overweight trying to take care of the house & kids.

I too struggle with obesity and overeating and I need to be harder with myself and not make excuses anymore for my eating habits, especially since I am single and have never been pregnant. <br /><br />I can't even imagine what you are going through in this area and I am sure there is some grace for you since you are much more hormonally challenged than me. I pray that God will help you to not gain too much weight during your next pregnancy.
