So, my thoughts on intermittent fasting -----I love it! It was difficult the day before yesterday due to alot of physical hunger, but I was able to last until 6 p.m. I broke fast with stuffing crusted chicken, scalloped potatoes, mixed steamed veggies and a small handful of chocolate chips. I also had a piece of raisin toast with peanut butter and jelly later around 10 p.m. I found as I ate slowly, I was able to leave some on my plate due to fullness. I hope to lose weight this way, but most of all , I want to seek after God to fill me and not the food. I want to be set free from the pull of food on my life. It has controlled me far too long. My desire is to give my life to Him fully. I long to serve Him with my whole heart and seek what He has for my life.
"Father, give me the desire to live for you with all that I am. Help me to be continually dependent on you and look to you to fill me. As I walk through this new way of life, give me the strength and ability to accomplish the call on my life. I love you Lord and I desire to live for you!"
I will post tomorrow for accountablity to myself. I want to start being honest with myself and holding myself to a higher standard. I don't want my kids to go through what Joe and I are going through with his mom. I know that I need to do something about my weight and health now while I still can. I am thankful that God has called me to this and I have fatih that He will complete the good work He's begun!
