If you think to, pray for me this week. I am really struggling with caring whatsoever about this weight loss thing. I am so tired this week and I usually make bad choices then. Thankfully when I went shopping yesterday I didn't buy much bad stuff. In fact, even the snacks and treats are reduced/fat free/sugar free etc. So, I haven't gone off the deep end or fallen off the wagon......but I feel as if I am under the wagon wheel....this hurts...just let....go! Allen has convinced me that we can't, but I am just struggling and need my friends to lift up my hands for a while.
Another prayer request. Allen is being worked to death. This has been going on for a year with no light at the end of the tunnel. It is always, we are almost out of our hole....then they will take on more huge demanding clients. He has been working 10-12 hour days. It is tough on family life. By the time he gets home, we have to eat and get ready for bed :( Also, he has a conference Friday-Monday. So now we don't even get our weekend reprieve!!! Grrrrrr .

Whatever you do Monica, don't give up! This is why many people go on diets and then gain more at the end of it all. Don't let Satan discourage you from getting healthy. You are lifted up today in my prayers as I'm sure you will be in many others. As far as Allen's work thing goes, we know how you feel. Terry has been working 7 days a week, 10 hour days. So he has been busy too which is a major strain on life and family. We will be praying for you and covet your prayers for us too! Hang in there. I know you can do it!!!
Whenever things are so bleak & dark that all that makes sense it to turn & run to an island & give up, the ONLY thing that helps me is remembering that I'm building a crown to throw at Christ's feet. Every choice I make. So, right now, when you choose to do the right thing even though you're tired of it & even though you're REALLY tired of being without Allen, I believe the gems in the crown are more precious. It will be worth it all, Monica.
Why don't you take Friday & declare it No Diet Day? Just take a little break!
You're in my prayers too! I'm so sorry you have to continue to struggle with this! Dana is right though...I don't think I need to add anything to what she said. It seems so hard, but in the end...
God is so proud of you! He is also proud of Allen for being such a godly husband and providing for his family.
I'll be praying for Karmen too!
You guys really are a god-send. I am so grateful that I can bare my soul and my biggest most embarrassing issues and you still love me. Not only that, but you give me encouraging godly counsel. I cherish you guys!
I am not giving up, Karmen. I promise. I just want to :P Your admonitions really helped. Yikes, I am so sorry to have complained when you have it even rougher. I am so grateful though that we have such awesome husbands who do work hard for their families and that we do miss them.
Danna! You are seriously my diet mentor. I couldn't do this without you. Thank you, thank you thank you!!! I don't think I can be trusted to take Friday off. I do bad enough lately when I am supposedly ON :*(
Beth. I so cherish your love and prayers. I know that my struggle may be a complete mystery to you as you and your sisters are all incredibly thin, but I appreciate you not minimizing it.
Beth.
You're right that I don't struggle the way you do...in fact, mine is the complete opposite. I have struggled a lot in the area of eating healthy...not eating at all. So, I somewhat can understand how you feel...you struggle by eating too much and I by not eating enough. I'm sure it is hard for you to understand my struggle like it is hard for me to understand yours.
Hey my friend I will be praying for you! I just got the test results today - not good, so I will have to go on some major lifestyle changes myself. Consider me another friend along the way to help and join this journey with you.
Thanks for the call and encouragment. You truly are a wonderful friend!
Hi Monica, I am so proud of your great success in weight loss but please know that I have always been proud of you for the passion you have for Jesus and your passion for your calling as a wife and mother!
One day in the near future all the people that have joined us on this journey will look back and remember how we loss weight together and how much all of the encouragment helped to living healthy lives!
I love and believe in you and keep expecting the best for your life!
