Dear Friends from Blog Land,
Firstly, thank you for your very supportive comments,I don't even know some of you and yet we're connecting and caring ...WOW!!!
This week was okay! I decided not to step on the scale today for fear of not continuing this blog.You see ,this has been a life long battle that I have lost at more times than I care to mention and although blogging about it is good it also brings the battle to the field and exposes old wounds.I realized today that the scale not only weighs my weight but it also weighs my worth and that's a sad lie I've been living with since I was a little girl.Oh that poor little girl just trying to please others when all along she was acceptable just the way she was.This is very emotional for me right now,I'll stop and finish later.
These are times of healing ,although painful they are necessary and cleansing.Its during these times that God shows me that I was never alone ,even though I didn't know him as a child He knew me and He did love me just the way I was. I can see His protection on me through the joy I see in my children because without it I could have become an angry bitter woman and not known how to love my children unconditionally.THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!
As I continue with my " 30 day after 7 thing " I'll keep in mind that I'm not alone on that field and that today, part of the battle has already been won.VICTORY IS MINE!!!!!!!

Hi Angie!
ReplyDeleteI tried to post a comment on your last entry a few days ago. Sometimes my comment-posting plain old doesn't work and I can't figure out why. Hope it works this time.
I am so excited to see you in the blog world. I hope you meet your goals. Health is important. I think you are wonderful as you are, and may I recommend the book 'You are not what you Weigh' by Lisa Bevere. It's in our church library. Lisa won her battle with weight but God also taught her along the way to let go of her struggles with body image. A very inspiring book.
Bless you! I'm happy to know you, and I'm excited about peeking in on your journey.
