Sorry I have been so terrible about posting - one of these days I will get around to it! I'm enjoying the summer with my kids and also teaching several accountability/discipleship groups - two for teenage girls and one for women plus a Sunday school class for teenagers each week. God really seems to be moving me in the direction of these little groups, and I'm working on developing some curriculum that others could use, as well. Hope you're enjoying the summer!

I don't have to measure up because I know God loves me and that's enough.

I just realized that since I finally truly believe that God loves me passionately no matter what; I am no longer a perfectionist about my weight!

A lot of people would have a hard time with it because the old perfectionist all-or-nothing attitude comes in. <br />If I ever re-write FFEE I'll include a bigger section on how perfectionism affects weight loss efforts (actually, I can't even remember if I talked about that at all).<br /><br />Anyway, it always amazes me how much you have to suffer to eat little enough to lose weight. For me, anyway, that's why it's so hard to do. When you maintain you get to eat a reasonable amount of food. <br /><br />In the old days, though, it was harder to maintain than lose weight even though neither one was easy back then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181996471092199585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751583950515517369.post-66897579552165502922010-05-12T22:21:22.575-06:002010-05-12T22:21:22.575-06:00Barb, I can really relate to getting to the point ...Barb, I can really relate to getting to the point where you can maintain your weight but losing takes more effort. It is easier now after a year to maintain my weight, even after a loss. But losing is where I need more work. I have to really get down on my knees, kneal HARD and constant into Him to do this. I tend to get weary about each 15 pound loss and take a break! LOL! The intensity is overwhelming, the end result is joyful! People could probably tell from my posts which I'm working on!;o)<br />I thought it was interesting to read that maintaining comes first and is easier. It has been that way for me too.

What a victory. I hope the study helps with your emotional weight. God used all the things in it to deal with my own emotional weight (which also helped my physical weight!).

I am currently maintaining a 130# wt. loss since June 2009. I am a LT member of WW. The physical weight is gone, but getting rid of the emotional weight....aahhhhh...the next challenge. I have lost this amount 2 times in the last 10 years, and by God's grace, will get to the ROOT of the problem and not go around that tree again. Looking forward to your study, and learning from someone who is further along in the journey than I. Thanks for sharing!!!LeeAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179673801269789037noreply@blogger.com
