Down again .8

Hi Ladies

I thought that was pretty funny to be down .8. I guess I'm back to 48.2 lbs. lost. That is just not going to cut it. I really want to see that 50lb. mark by next week.

I cannot begin to express what your encouragement means to me Hugs, Kisses and Cheek Pinchers to each of you.

I read a devotional today that keeps coming back in my mind. As you all know the story by now Jaycee Duggar was kidnapped and held for 18 years. She had opportunities to escape however chose not to even when her captor was arrested a few years ago for a parole violation. She had totally been brainwashed and convinced she couldn't make it without him. The devotion put us in this position as it pertains to addictions and sin in our life. We are afraid to let go of something that we feel we cannot live without even though it is bad for us. We are brainwashed by its power and lies. Won't you feel deprived? You have to eat don't you? I can only imagine the evil presence that permeated that sweet girls life as it pertained to her abduction. I'm not going to lose any more of my life to its' control. Guess how long it's been? 155 at 25 and I felt fat then. That was twenty years ago. I wasn't fat by the way, just had a fat head related to my thinking and body image.

I'm planning on doing a detox when my stuff arrives which I think will be a very good thing to get things moving again and prepare me for my surgery.

Thanks for your support. I couldn't do it without the Lord and the training team he has graciously provided.
