Nowadays, men too diet for not only retaining good looks but attaining good health. However, it has been found that women with the intention to shed too much weight land up with severe health complications.

According to health experts, a good percentage of women run on strict diets for months and years without knowing what may or may not favor one’s health.

Against the Wind – Weekly Weigh In

How close are you?

Well, my weigh in surprise from last week caught up to me.  Ten fold.

I didn’t go to Weight Watchers for several reasons but like always, I weighed in at home this morning.  Up 4 pounds.  Yep…4 freakin’ pounds.

So…I know that can’t possibly be “accurate” and it will even out next week.  No…I didn’t have a stellar week, however, I surely didn’t have such a “great” week that I gained 4 pounds.

I love how things happen that make me laugh and realize that this truly is a journey I am on.  I love how God places things smack dab in my path to get me to realize something.  Today was one of those days.

I had some time after school so I went to my mom’s house and we went on a walk together which we used to do quite a bit before I got a Monday afternoon tutoring student.  I have missed that time we spend together.

It has been VERY windy in Atlanta the past two days.  So much so that there has been a wind advisory.  Today, while we were walking, there were huge gusts of wind.  I mean HUGE!  You know, the kind of wind that when you are driving, you have to compensate a little bit in your car to stay in your lane?

Well…imagine that kind of wind while you are out walking.  Regardless, we were out for a nice long walk and the prettiest red bird flew in front of us.  At about that time, a huge gust of wind came and the bird was flapping his little wings like crazy but because of the wind he was just staying in the same spot.  He was  trying so hard but not going anywhere.  Eventually, the wind died down and he was able to get to his destination.

My mom and I started laughing hysterically.  We have never seen such a thing.  Poor little guy.

How many wind storms have we been caught in during our weight loss journey?  How many times have we been that little red bird flapping our arms as hard as we can to just feel defeated?   How many times have we stopped flapping because we feel the wind is too strong?

That little bird today did not stop.  He flapped as hard as he could even though he wasn’t going anywhere.  He did not give up.

No matter what storm you are going through, no matter how hard the wind is blowing, don’t give up.  Keep flapping those wings and giving it all you’ve got.  Eventually, the storm will calm and you will make it through to your destination.  Whatever you do, don’t give up!

What are your storms?  Have you reached a plateau?  Are you tired of flapping so hard and feel like you are standing still?  Keep on flappin’!

Searching For Peace

Searching for Peace

Peace is a hard thing to attain.  Life throws so much at us, constantly, that there is ALWAYS something.

I have had a hard time lately with finding peace.  There is a lot going on in my life right now.

I am busy.  I am so busy that I sometimes feel like there is never time to just “be.”  I am thankful for two jobs that I LOVE that keep me busy.  I am thankful for a thriving blog that keeps me busy.  I am thankful for a home that keeps me busy.  However, I am busy and sometimes that busyness becomes a little much.

I am also struggling with disappointment.  I am disappointed in some areas of my life that I have no control over.  Lately it seems people are disappointing me more than usual.  I feel like maybe Satan is trying to get into certain areas of my life and I am fighting hard to keep focused on Christ and not let Satan get anywhere near me.  That is hard.

This afternoon, I was having a quiet moment thinking about things and I was led to my room to find the book, “Jesus Calling.”  I looked up the page for yesterday and it read:

Peace is My continual gift to you. It flows abundantly from My throne of grace. Just as the Israelites could not store up manna for the future but had to gather it daily, so it is with My Peace. The day-by-day collecting of manna kept My people aware of their dependence on Me. Similarly, I give you sufficient Peace for the present, when you come to meby prayer and petition with thanksgiving. If I gave you permanent Peace, independent of My Presence, you might fall into the trap of self-sufficiency. May that never be!

I have designed you to need Me moment by moment. As your awareness of your neediness increases, so does your realization of My abundant sufficiency. I can meet every one of your needs without draining My resources at all. Approach My throne of grace with bold confidence, receiving My Peace with a thankful heart.

Weight loss is hard enough when things are going RIGHT in your life.  When things aren’t going so well, it makes it that much harder.

I am asking God right now to meet my needs with only the power He can.  I need His peace in my life and I am quietly asking Him for it.
