The word surrender is no where to be found in the KJV of the bible. But the state of surrendering precedes the act of submission. I must surrender my will to God, which allows me the freedom to submit to His plan for my life. I don't know if I accomplished that today. I did workout, for an hour at the gym. But I ate two heavy (but nutrious meals). I didn't feel sick to my stomach today, no acv but I didn't feel particuarlly productive. I must learn to be temperant in all things. Going to bed after 4, proves I got much work to do.

I did great today with breakfast. I am trying a new sweetner called truvia. I put it in some oatmeal today. It keeps me full a long time and it takes good without that nasty after taste. Stay encouraged. This is our year! We will do it, stand on faith, and lean on God's everylasting arms!
Hmm...Gotta look into that truvia. I have such a sweet tooth that I try to keep away from sweets but then when I do indulge, I OVERINDULGE...Gotta remember, "He who strives for the mastery is temperant in all things." 1 Cor 9:25
I am submitting to God's will. I strongly feel that as christains we are to be the example in every aspect of our lives, including our appearance. We should not be overweight! How can we say we are following his will and look like we don't trust His word? How will anyone else want to follow Him when we appear to not be following His word? We all have sinned and fall short. But being overweight is one of those things that show up on the outside. We can do things in this life time and no onw but God would know cause a lot of things can be hidden. Don't misunderstand me, I don't want people thinking I'm for committing sins unseen by the world. I am just saying that we are not shining ladies and gentlemen. We dampen the light in us when we are obese. How many times have you not gone somewhere, done something, or tried something, due to your weight? What kind of soldier refuses an order because they got self conscious about it? We hold ourselves back, and some more than others while being overweight. So I say to you, submit entirely to the will of God. Let Him feed you. Hear Him when he says I will supply ALL your needs. You don't have to eat like its the last supper. You will eat again and enjoy it. But please, moderation. Self control. I promise your stomach will reduce to its natural size and that food amount will satisfy you. Also, as I work out I don't even become as hungry. I don't need any appetite suppressors cause my vigorous workout suppresses it enough. We can do this, brothers and sisters, and WE WILL. AMEN
Day 26 done. I'll wake up and do a workout for day 27 even though I technically finished day 26 on day 27. I feel great. I read my bible today. I ate healthy most of the day. But I now have a new obsession. Now that food no longer is an obsession. Men are becoming one. Why can't I get obsessed with God? With reading my bible? I do get obsessed with my studies but I couldn't get registered this semester. Go figure! Pray for me as I try to grow and go in God's direction?
