Becky, I was so encouraged after the call today. I just called my gym and they WILL freeze my membership for up to 3 months. (I was feeling guilty for not being able to go right now with busy schedule of my children's ball activities) Also, I had a lunch appt with a friend for Friday, but instead I called and said let's meet for a walk. She loved the idea. We really just wanted to get together to visit.....so why do we have to eat??? we don't. You can also walk and talk better than eating and talking. Great ideas!!! I also have found a friend to walk with me and we have a set appointment for 3 times a week, and it is working!!!! Also, I am now 31 pounds lighter and still downsizing. (25 lbs. to go to my goal) The closet activity was wonderful, because I was getting clothes out of there that were too big! What a feeling. I also have a dress that is a size 6 that I wore on a Carribean vacation with my husband 8 years ago) I WILL fit into it soon. (A big difference from my size 18!) Okay-I rated myself a 5 on the phone call, but now I'm feeling a 9! Praise God for this group and your leadership Becky, as "we throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and run with perserverence the race marked out for us." (Heb.12:1)

Thanks for another great call.
Missed you all today (Had my major dental surgery yesterday. Praise God all went well.)
My dogs appreciate the suggestion to take a dog on a walk......they must have put in a word with you. Also a good reminder, the treadmill is not for stacking things on, or hanging towels on.
(note to myself).
Thanks Becky, have a blessed week all. Will concentrate on the topic now that my teeth feel better.
Hi Everyone,
I thought I had better post that I did workout 3days this week. Didn't do to well on the closet stuff I just wanted to not look at any of it and made a mess of my bed room. I'll work on that Saterday. I am happy about starting a group at work that will be tracking out fitness. It should be fun to see how meany people will stick with it. I want to make some firm Gosls. Need to think about it. ok ---
Becky, do you read the comments. And, if so, are you answering them if there is a question. The blogging aspect of this is new to me. I want to join in and find encouragement. As well as hopefully, give it. But I am stuck on week one. I congratulate you on keeping your weight within five pounds up and down. However, I do not find your case very encouraging. Only more depressing and giving me more cause to choose to be down on myself for letting my weight sore to its highest ever.
And about the closet...well, it is so basic and wonderful to think one could do that. However, I have been struggling with giving clothes away..sorting through what might fit....thinking I might fit into it "someday" and so on. I was just ready to go through everything and give it away or take it to a consignment shop. I know you have had great success in coaching those of us who are not yet able to see the light through all of our hangups.
What do you suggest?
Becky, I am over my pity party. You are giving great advice and direction. I decided not to micro-manage the closet and walking. Basically, just jump in and do it. There is no perfection here.
So, it is a new day. I thank God for His mercy and forgiveness as we each move forward to be good stewards of our time, money and physical beings. I have been using your CYL quiet time system for a long time now. It helps me to start each day with the Word in my heart. And, a sense of balance mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I think God is dealing with me through you to say.."Stop getting stuck and victimizing yourself." It is not healthy and will not help me reach any of my goals. So, thanks for taking your time to get me going.
I truly do appreciate you.
This is to g.m.v. I will be praying for you. I "feel" your pain. This past year I was at my all time highest weight and felt defeated and discouraged so many times. I prayed for victory but only got more depressed every time I saw pictures of myself when I was smaller or saw other "skinny" people. Remember to "keep your eyes focused on Jesus". I stopped comparing myself to others, and cried out to Jesus to change me....to change my habits, my thoughts, and my weight. I knew that God had called me to a ministry working with children and it was hard being 60 pounds overweight. Find accountability, and just BEGIN...and take it day by day and step by step in the power of the Holy Spirit! You can do it. I never thought I would get back to my smaller clothes, but it is happening and it will for you to. Praying expectantly!
This is for JoyBeth from g.m.v.
I appreciate your encouragement.
It helps to hear from someone who has struggled to lose those pounds. I am very encouraged by your words.
Thanks
