When the answer is "no" or "not yet" it hurts so much. I'm praying for you!<BR/><BR/>Sally A. - a.k.a.

I like to plan things out and control every aspect. God is teaching me in so many areas of my life that he is in control not me. I think I have finally come to grips with the loss of control over pregnancy. After almost 3 years, I'm saying ok I will wait on your time. <BR/>I have been asking myself the same questions, mainly how do I really apply this to my life so that it lasts. I need this book to be a year of devotions.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375184604352971930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033639557017607987.post-74673423219776174002008-10-22T07:12:00.000-07:002008-10-22T07:12:00.000-07:00This was a good lesson for me. I discovered that ...This was a good lesson for me. I discovered that I am the problem, because I think I am the answer. In my head I "know" I can do it. I've done it many times before. All I have to do is get back on the program, do my self talking, remember how it felt to be there, get motivated by pictures of myself or others where I want to be, practice putting down my fork between each bite, etc. etc. etc. Yes, I've done it many times before, but no, it had not brought me lasting change. I cannot eat without guilt. I cannot be proud of my reflection, I am not surprized at how thin I actually am, rather than surprised at how big, and I am not free of cravings throughout the entire Holiday season. When I do it I "put a bandaid on cancer". This time I want Jesus to be the answer. Lord, don't let me look the other way, or hide my eyes to my problem. Help me to look it straight in the face and change my ways. Be my strength. AmenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
