Week 3 was a rocky one, I didn’t flat out have a Big Mac Attack but I ate Doritos for lunch one day. I also ate a lot of candy, regular and sugar-free. BUT a friend prayed for me and the urges stopped. So this week I have both legs up on the wagon, and I haven’t slipped up. I am also avoiding any kind of sweets for this week. I know no one follows a diet perfectly, so I won’t beat myself up over it. I still managed to lose one pound by the official end of my week, which brings me up to the grand total of 11lbs. Today I go in to get my monthly measurements at Curves, so I will have inches and fat loss numbers as well tonight. I am very curious to see them. It is interesting to see how the weight comes off differently each time.

Well I completed yet another week of dieting on Sunday! HIP HIP HOORAY!! I didn't think that I would be able to do it since the resistance/opposition was sooooo strong. BUT I'm still standing thanks to God. First things 1st..... during week one of my weight management plan I lost 7lbs, and this second week I lost 3 more, so I am down 10lbs. I am learning so much about myself through this journey. The biggest lesson this week was I must keep a balance between mind, body and spirit. For the last 2 weeks I have been completely focused on body, that I neglected my spiritual side. Which is ok for a short period to accomplish something or to set things in order, but by the end of this week my spiritual tank was empty. Yes I was going to church, I read his word, listened to great worship music, but I wasn't spending time with Jesus. I must have that one-on-one time with him, and I think I took time only once in 2 weeks, ugh. In the bible it says God spoke with Moses face to face as with a friend. The God of the universe spoke with a man as a friend, really think about that, that is AMAZING!!!! He still speaks if you are willing to listen!! Anyway I need that time with him, because he affirms me, he fills the voids, and he heals the wounds that I get in daily life. I am not going to make it though this or anything else without him. Even though I did a great job, my 1st two weeks, that "spiritual empty tank" was trying fill itself in other ways. By the end of the second week I was driving around looking for sugar-free candy. There is a strong connection between mind, body and spirit. Just think of an egg, which is 3 in one. If I crack an egg open and either the yolk or white is missing or deformed I am not eating it. I want my eggs perfectly balanced out. I don’t want yolk or egg white where it is not suppose to be, trying to fill a spot it was never intended to fill. I'm sure the egg would not do it on purpose it would just happen. And that's what happened to me, I went looking for the God substitutes. My stuff got out of balance. It's a lesson learned on the road to a better me. :-)
I guess it could have been worse, I could have rode around looking for a ice cream sundae. Or like my friend who almost ran over a man trying to drive into Dunkin Donuts' parking lot..LOL.. Man food is like a drug epecially when you use it to medicate yourself.
