Ahhhh, sweetie ... there are no failures here, among friends! We all have our ups and downs in this continual battle for weight control, but even if you had put on 50 pounds, you would not be a failure!

You see, I truly believe in my heart of hearts that the enemy uses our weaknesses to bring us down to a place of self-loathing. If he can bring us into depression, or feelings of failure, he succeeds ... because then we are not in the frame of mind to further the kingdom of God.

The Lord wants you to be filled with JOY - not depression. Just recognize this as an attack from the enemy, stand your ground, and let him know that he has NO place in the heart and mind of a child of the Almighty God! You are a beautiful creation in the eyes of the Master, regardless of your weight.

Plus, you have many friends here who love you, just as you are.  :-*

thanks guys, i know that i am being silly, its just so hard sometimes. i do remember how good and in control i felt when i was on the program. i really think that i have a allergy to gluten and that when i eat it i have these periods of depression. i just need to 'clean house' ... and keep it clean. sorry to sound so gloomy. thanks for your concern and i could use all the prayer i can get. and i will be praying for you all too.

Hello Joy...I am recently returned to so I just wanted to say hi and welcome you back as well. Since we are starting around the same time we can encourage each other!

[christianjoy]

thanks vicki, im glad your here. i actually already feel better with only 1 day under my belt
my weight has deffinatly been my 'thorn in the flesh' ...while i usually feel it is a curse it has actually been a blessing as it has drawn me closer to the Lord. ...if that makes sence. anyway have a blessed day.

Isn't it amazing how much better you feel about things the very day you begin on the right path again!? I totally get what you mean about your weight drawing you closer to the Lord. I have come to realize that without His grace and power enabling me to make right choices, I am sunk! It forces me to draw close to Him as well. Have a blessed day. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better along this journey.
