Are you tired of dieting?

[Optical Goddess]

Ever get that wierd little tingle in your heart when you fall into an answered prayer? I'm _so_ there right now!

As some of you may know, my husband was very sick in the beginning of January, and was in critical care at the hospital. God used this ordeal to strengthen our faith and to bring my husband to church--I've tried for years to get him to go with me but he wouldn't-- it's really been a blessing, and it's amazing to see my hsuband's faith blossom and to hear him tell his story of faith. You'd think so to if you knew him.

At church the other day in the bulliten it said something about consulting the Book and that it's the best 'self help' book ever. Sure, I'm praying for 'the biggies', like health, employment, strength, but I guess I never thought about weight loss and self esteem from a Christian perspective, but, well, 'duh!', I guess. I will turn my food issues to God, listen to his word.

Having come across this board and thread is truly an answer to my prayers, as I am sick of dieting.I am trying to have an Intuitive eating approach but won't lie when I say that I'm sick of being overweight, too....when my husband was in the hospital I gained a good 15 lbs or so...

I gave up sweets for Lent which hasn't been too difficult, until I realized I'm substituting salty things that I don't like... glad to have met everyone , and I hope I can be an answer to someone's prayer the way people have been toward me.

Hi All,

I haven't been here in awhile, but Bootsie sent me an email and it made me miss you all. I have been very busy lately, God gave me the awesome privilege of being the Children's Ministry Coordinator at my church, and even though I LOVE it, it takes a lot of time.

I am still trying to work my Diet Bible Study, and I am still going to post it here again. The copy writer I was working with said it is very important "To make a great first impression", so I am trying to get it perfect, but it is so AWESOME! God is so GOOD!

I am also still grappling with the whole idea of "making a good first impression" If God was using it before, why do I care what kind of impression it makes???? I really don't think I want to publish it... I just want it to help people like God has used it to help me!!! I know He doesn't want me to keep it to myself.

anyway, I would appreciate prayer.

Love, Kelli
