Looking and Feeling Good

So It's been about five days since my first blog and I feel great, and to be honest I am starting to see a resemblance of my thinner self emerging.

I literally believe in the principals of the Weigh Down Workshop, because there is never a feeling of depriving yourself. I woke up this morning after having a dinner of Spinach, Tomatoes and Mozzerella Cheese on a whole wheat tortilla last night, and I was craving a cinnimon roll. So I made home made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Now I know some of you well studied scientist are sitting out there saying, that goes against everything we know to be healthy and right for breakfast. However, I happened to read an amazing scripture that totally verified that these little treats (In small amounts and moderation) are actually a gift from our heavenly father. This is what I read in my morning devotion. AMAZING!!
"Like a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down in his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. Sustain me with cakes of raisins, refresh me with apples, For I am lovesick." Song of Solomon 2: 2 - 5
HOOOLLLDDDD UP!
It was funny that when I was making my cinnamon rolls I decided to put raisins in them. How is it that after I make my rolls and have a few small bites to satisfy my craving for them, I open the Bible and find this scripture that talks about cakes of raisins. It's because I believe God loves me so much that he wants me to know good gifts are from him, and he made me desire good things, even like cinnamon rolls, which everyone in the diet industry claims are the absolute worst thing in the world.

For years I have been going back and forth from science and faith when in comes to having a hot body. My first husband was a Biologist and had a Masters degree in Biology, and thought the best way to eat was cans of tuna, all day long. Seriously!!! My second husband was a Doctor and told me I need to eat Salad, like everyday for lunch and dinner. I was a size 0 then, and he still thought my butt was too big. My point is, I was miserable in those days because I wasn't thinking for myself and listening to my body, I was trying so hard to be loved and excepted by the men in my life. It sent me into this yo-yo lifestyle of starvation, then binging. You know how it goes, you have probably found yourself in this cycle before. I do know that everything that science has taught us about food is correct and true, however if you have a greed and desire to overeat, or you have a love relationship with food then it doesn't matter how much your diet program teaches you about USDA recommendations. I tell you, if you just eat enough to sustain yourself and not overeat, you will loose weight and your body will start craving the things it needs. Like last night I was craving tomatoes and spinach.
