I didn't get many steps yesterday because I took a friend to the Dr. and had a lot going on with that. Today I have a Dr. appointment.
Steps from yesterday: 4,341
Have a Blessed day!

March 18
2 Timothy 1:12
. . .I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
'You can't lose weight. You've never stuck with anything in your whole life.' Those words haunt me all the time-every time I slip and eat something I know I shouldn't. I hate it when people think I'm too weak to succeed in my diet. I hate it even more when I prove them right. Still, being ashamed of failing at my diet is often good for me. If I am ashamed enough, then it helps me stick with it the next time. God has helped me a lot to conquer negative shame. I have committed my diet to Him, and He is true to help me keep on track.
Today's thought: I'll prove to all my skeptical friends that I am capable of losing weight.
Good afternoon! Had breakfast and lunch. Did my exercises. Took the bus to a nearby community this morning. Had my Glaucoma screening. Also picked out my frames for my new glasses. 😁🐇😷☘️
Romans 8:31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Let's not call it our diet; let's call it God's diet. No, that doesn't mean God has to lose the weight. It means that we diet because it's what God wants of us. If it's God's diet, then God will help make sure that it goes well. He will bless those who diet in His name. It may sound silly to diet for God, but, as Christians, we are called to do everything in His name. When we live our lives as an offering to God, then we let the whole world know who gives us our strength and courage. If God is for us, then nothing can stand against us.
Today's thought: Dieting for God is a joy and a comfort!
Psalm 55:16
As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
We went around the circle, telling about the diet plans we had tried. Most of the people said they had no luck, no matter what they tried. I was the only one who had succeeded in losing a considerable amount of weight. Everyone looked expectantly toward me when my time came. I smiled shyly and said, 'The only thing that I did differently from any of you was to pray. I didn't trust any of the diet plans I saw, so I turned to God, instead. You all can try what you want to, but as for me, I'm going to keep putting my faith in God. He's why I'm thin now.'
Good afternoon! Had breakfast and lunch. Did my home exercises. Went for a walk and ran errands. Did a load of laundry. Put half of it in the dryer. Will fold it in a few minutes. Put the other half in the dryer. 😁🐰😷🐇
