After about ten months, I am feeling tired of struggling to get to an ideal weight. I knew that losing weight wasn't a walk in the park, but the constant vigilance over what to eat and how much to eat is a source of great anxiety that tends to send me into emotional eating of... Continue Reading →
I have started having a problem sleeping again. As I watch the clock moved across early moring hours, I am weary, but fully awake. I start to feel the desire to eat something, but never for anything healthy. Late night is no time, in my mind, for salad or salad makings. It's the hour for... Continue Reading →

Eating forbidden foods made her happy! Written for the Saturday Six Word Story Prompt #74 from My Random Ramblings: Happy. Only someone on a diet would think of this one.
I met my goal of 125 pounds, but then the holidays hit, and now I struggle to lose the three pounds that I gained.

Seeking to lose weight. Oreos come in many kinds. Find no will-power. Written for RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge: Seek and Find.

These actions allow us to demonstrate faith in Jesus Christ, whose birth, death, and resurrection is the basis of our faith in God and our belief in a better home to aspire to, one not made by human hands. Stripping off the weight means letting go of our hurts, heartbreaks, and humiliations; our broken dreams, broken hearts, and broken promises; and our fears, failures, and frustrations. This emotional baggage often hinders our faith, and causes us to doubt the One who paid the ultimate price for our redemption.
