6 Weeks......

I did it!! I made it 6 weeks on the Eating to Live lifestyle change. I am documenting this for me..... I have lost about 15 pounds, depending on what part of the day I weigh ;). Shockingly it hasn't been bad at all. I have went SIX weeks without diet pop, that is a miracle. I've had 2 sips, but it didn't taste good at all. The last couple weeks, I definitely think less about sugar and other foods I craved. I know that is ridiculous, but when you have cupcakes sitting in front of you (two days in a row at school), it isn't easy. I was talking with some teachers last week about how hard it is for teachers, we are constantly surrounded by food!! I am attending a wedding this weekend and I plan to have a bite of something yummy. The goal helped me a couple weeks ago when I was really wanting something, knowing the wedding was a few weeks away I was able to get past the craving. Sounds crazy, but it worked. Honestly, I have been eating such great food, I haven't missed out on anything!

I was driving to the gym tonight, this song came on the radio. It is my prayer!!! That the Lord would be my shepherd. The chorus struck a cord in my heart, "The Lord is my Shepherd and I want for nothing. You lead me to water for You know I'm thirsting And I am only satisfied by You." My heart needed this so much, Jesus is so faithful to allow us to know we can only be satified by Him. I don't need more money, more quality time with friends or family, a husband, etc.... I need Him to satisfy the needs of my heart and life!!
