Intermittent fasting is going well. I am finding that being hungry isn't a bad thing. I didn't weigh myself yesterday and I'm not sure that I will weigh for awhile. I know that God is going to do a work in my heart as well as a work in my body. I so desire to give up food as my idol. I know that I can't do this without the Lord leading me. I have been hungry most of the day and look forward to my dinner meal with my family. I plan to have a small bowl of Chili, and a turkey pot pie. I hope to eat aroung 6 o"clock and can't wait to enjoy dinner with my family. God is so good that he would provide for me and that I will be able to lose weight while enjoying regular food.
Last night I broke fast at 6:15 p.m. I wasn't very hungry during the day because all of the pain I had been experiencing with my back. Joe and I went to Chili's for our usual Monday night date. I ate chips with avacado dip and salsa. I overdid it on the chips-ugh! I also had my usual quesadilla salad and 1/2 a york peppermint patty later that evening. Overall, I was satisfied the rest of the night. I found out that by 10 o"clock I wanted food again. I asked the Lord to help me and I was able to go without anymore food for the night.
I know the Lord desires my heart and he will give the strength to be able to accopmplish what he's called me to do. I look forward to seeking him more and getting to know him in a deeper way. As I turn to him and not the food I can grow in him. He offers me freedom and life. I am so thankful that he is drawing me to him and he will complete the good work he's begun!
