Day One with No Sugar

Thank you for the huge response after last night's post.  Your sincere messages and comments encourage and inspire me.  It means so much to know I am in your prayers. 

I know that food addiction is a problem.  Many of you shared with me your own issues.  I believe there is hope for us!  I am reading a wonderful book called "Made to Crave" by Lysa TerKeurst.   It has inspired me to replace my cravings for food with cravings for the Almighty God.  Only God can satisfy.  Lysa reminds me that I am made for more.  I am made for more than the vicious cycle of dieting, failure, binging, guilt...dieting, failure, binging, guilt...again, and again.  I was made more!

I am also working out to Faithful Workouts. I bought a 3 DVD work out set for just $25.  I love the Christian saturated work outs.  The women are fully dress (no bare midriffs or butts hanging out), the work out is accompanied by Christian music and Michelle Spadafora, the fitness instructor, gives a short devotional during the last five minutes.  Working out has always energized me, physically. Now exercising with Faithful Workouts I am energized both physically AND spiritually.  I love it!

Day one with no sugar has gone well.  Too well.  I am waiting for the craving ball to drop.  I know I am weak.  I know this soothing peace will pass and I will have to stand up against unhealthy cravings.  Gratefully, in my weakness, I am made strong through Jesus Christ.  He is my power.  I will hold to his mighty right hand and battle through this stronghold.  One day at a time...
