That statement by itself is profound. I'm old enough to say that after all these years, my mind definitely needs a little renewing. I know more than I did as a child, but at least 1/2 is wrong! Not the things like math or how to make my bed, but the things I think about myself and life in general. What I see happening is that I have to think about food and exercise all the time. Right now that feels like a pain in the butt (I have better things like world peace to think about!) but I see what it's doing. It's making me more conscience of my choices and writing over the bad tapes in my mind of what I say to myself. Things that I see through a glass dimly. God is renewing my mind about myself. It is really really hard to picture my body in shape. That's why I definitely need him to be what drives this whole thing because alone I will give up and give in because 145 lbs. feels impossible. With him, allllll things are possible!
I made a mistake last week. I had a successful weigh in, however, I stepped on the scale 2 days later and it said I had lost 3 lbs. Felt so good BUT I knew i wasn't for real. Every day since I step on the scale and sure enough, it wasn't true even though I wished it so. It wasn't a failure, I'm still on track but just disappointed I haven't made my first 10 lbs yet. Talk about beating myself up! DEFINITELY need the mind renewing and to leave the scale for 1x a week :)

AuthorMy name is Kat and I'm a single mom of two young adults. I have not always been overweight but after having children and going through some personal hurdles, let it get out of control. My philosophy about eating is this: Eat real food. Real eggs, butter, veggies. Eliminating processed junk as much as possible. I eat butter, not faux butter product because I believe my body can better process real food rather than chemicals. Archives
