Two weeks in a row I struggled with losing weight and started gaining weigh back. I felt horrible, ashamed and embarrassed. Well, yesterday I weighted myself and I lost 5.6 pounds! Whew! What a load off. I ate some junk but nothing close to the amound I ate in the past two weeks also I haven't been eating a lot of bread. I worked out three times last week and monitored what I ate like I did when I started this journey. I'm very proud of myself.
I know sometimes I might have ups and downs but I really didn't want to be one of those people who lost weight and gained it back several times. I really wanted to be consistent but life happens sometimes and just like Paul said in the Bible, you must die daily. I know this might sound silly but what I must do is "kill" is my old self in order to accomplish this goal. Just like a cigarette smoker, alcoholic, or any type of abuse done to this temple, I have to fight to stay alive and away. Wow am I really like an alcoholic? That's harsh but it's true. My alcohol is junk food and no matter how hard I try to walk away from my bottle in the shape of a flat, eight inch circle, it calls me back for another taste. If I continue to go back and over consume, I'm drunkenly full with junk food and the sugar, instead of alcohol, stays in my system for several days. I think I need OWA, Over Weight Annonymous lol. Maybe I need to take my sin to the alter in church and smash it like preachers have smokers smash their cigarettes. I would have a lot to carry!
