One day at a time

I started back to weight watchers on Jan. 14th. I had not been to a meeting since September 2008. It was so nice to see many of my old friends still coming and being faithful to the mission of reaching a set goal, Of making the weight loss a Healthy Living Life change. Understand any one can lose weight! Any one. It's what you do once you have lost to your goal that COUNTS. That's why I love weight watchers so much. Because it teaches you how to live, How to eat. It addresses the why you are over weight in the first place! EMOTIONAL EATTING I bet is at the top of the list. I am good at that one. If I get bored or do not plan my days as needed, I will get bored and then run to food for comfort.We all know how comforting food can be. Food use to be my BEST FRIEND, I could count on it to boost me up everytime. But, it just never lasted, I need more and more to satisfy me. As kids growing up we might have been raised by a food pusher! Granny pushed her pies and cakes and gravy and biscuits. Our Mama's would push fried this or that. We are all creatures of what we learned. So I am here to tell you know matter your age you can learn again! Learn to finally look in the mirror and say, I am not happy with what I see. I deserve better! I am going to love myself as Jesus does and He wants me healthy, strong, and he wants me to fill myself with LIFE and his word! Did you know that overeatting is a SIN! Yep, hate to be the bearer of bad news but in his word he says:
