Juicy

I went to a local health food store and had fresh juice a few times during my fast and I liked it so I bought myself a juicer and I feel that it will enable me to get my daily servings of fruit and vegetables in. It also will help when I can't or don't want to eat. Contrary to popular belief alot of overweight people don't eat a whole lot. We just don't eat correctly. We're gonna change that!

My Friend Had Gastric Bypass Surgery

My friend had Gastric Bypass Surgery. She has been overweight all her life and has issues with her thyroid. In the last few years she developed sleep apnea (she stops breathing in her sleep) and has to sleep with a c-pack machine. She is a beautiful person and has a sense of style that women 3x smaller than her wish for. I cannot wait until her outer beauty completely matches her inner beauty. She is a pretty girl even with the weight. She is at home now recovering. The surgery went smoothly. We have to conquer this weight thing yall and live life to the fullest.

Tell the Truth; Shame the Devil

I wish this post could be one that tells you that I have reached all of my weight loss goals and that I am looking and feeling greater than I ever have but if I did I would be lying. I have not lost weight and I am still indulging in eating poorly but this post is not me giving up it is a post of hope and determination. I think my failure has been going about this thing carnally out of my own strength but this weight is a spiritual as well as natural battle. Obesity hinders you from living life to the fullest. It effects how you feel and what you do. I recently went on a fast with my church and it was no red meats, pork, sugar, any drink except for water, and bread. I stayed the course for 21 days but the fast helped me realize how strong my flesh had become (spiritually). On the last day of the fast I put myself on a total fast. Fasting was something that I did in the past from time to time but I had stopped now it is very hard for me to fast. A while ago God told me if I just exercised and stopped drinking soda I would loose weight...I didn't. Then God told me to give up soda...I made it into a fast then stopped after a while. The last warning God gave me was that if I did not stop drinking the soda my kidneys would be damaged...that got my attention because before he told me I had began to feel a heaviness and pulling beneath my stomach. I am going on a week of no soda and I will continue to add disciplines. I want to live and live abundantly.
