- So, all I have thought about this week is the scale going down.
- It was as low as 334.4 and then went up to 335.6 and stayed there SOLIDLY for the rest of the week.
- I weighed on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and today, Sunday.
- So, 335.6 is my final weight for today and that means I am up 0.2 pounds.
- Clearly, I am not happy.
- Even BEFORE my final weigh day of today, I stood in the aisle at Walmart and contemplated buying a fat burner because of NOT having FAITH AND TRUST in God to give me the desires of my heart!! (My heart was convicted and I put them back)
August 28: 347.8 pounds / September 3: 340.6 = -7.2 lbs,1st Week = -7.2 lbs total
September 3: 340.6 / September 10: 335.4 = -5.2 lbs, 2nd Week = -12.4 lbs total
September 10: 335.4 / September 17: 335.6 = +0.2 lbs, 3rd Week = -12.2 lbs total
Revelation from my Revolution Class
- The scale is a stronghold for me
- I am overly focused on self, my body and my body weight
- There are foods that I am eating that have a very strong pull on my heart
- In YCO* Season 2, Episode 10: "Overcoming Bingeing on Sweets," Gwen says that if certain foods are a stronghold for you, you should see if you can sacrifice that food for God
- I am not devoted to, focused on or concerned about being obedient to God to have a relationship with Him, but to see that scale go down (OUCH!!!!)
- I am struggling with being obedient to God because my FOCUS is on making the scale go DOWN
- I am going to follow the Spirit vs. the Flesh calendar for a while and stay off the scales
- I need to focus on building a friendship and relationship with God because that is where my heart must be focused in order for God to give me the desires of my heart
- The scale will never go down and STAY DOWN if I don't have a pure heart for God.
....AND...the scale going down, CANNOT be my only desire for connecting with God.
