You lost 3.5 lb (2.4 %) since you last weighed in on Monday, 01 Jun 09. At that rate it will take you about 4 months to get to your goal weight."
I had my weigh-in at my doctor's appt. today and was amazed to see that I had lost a little...wow...and here I was in sweats and on the first day of AF. Not bad at all...woohooo.
I can see the tears filling your eyes And I know where theyre coming from Theyre coming from a heart thats broken in two By what you dont see The person in the mirror Doesnt look like the magazine Oh but when I look at you its clear to me that
I can see the fingerprints of god When I look at you I can see the fingerprints of god And I know its true Youre a masterpiece That all creation quietly applauds And youre covered with the fingerprints of god
Never has there been and never again Will there be another you Fashioned by gods hand And perfectly planned To be just who you are And what hes been creating Since the first beat of your heart Is a living breathing priceless work of art and
Just look at you Youre a wonder in the making Oh and gods not through no In fact hes just getting started and
Wow...this is EXACTLY where I've beenwith that too. Funny thing is how God has pushed me into it... my body has been poked and examined from every angle...by what seems like everyone that comes near me...lol. I was in the ER on Sunday suffering with anxiety...and had to go through a series of tests and x-rays and so forth. Today I go back to my own doctor for a follow-up. So this whole 'body' thing is getting a lot of focus. More then I'd like it to, really.
Here's one exercise that I did do when I was in the middle of an anxiety attack...I'd lie back (prefferably in a nice warm tub)...tense my body and then let it relax. I would then start at my toes and work my way up. Just drawing my focus to that particular area and give God thanks and praise, for how well it is designed and how healthy it is. Even the areas that I've had issues with in the past...specifically my tummy area and reproductive organs. I came to a place of forgiveness and even more then that...gratitude. Had everything worked the way it was supposed it, I most likely wouldn't have my two precious children in my life...who came to me through adoption. I think that I'm finally ok with my size and shape also...actually it is not so bad for a woman of my age. Ofcoure there could be some improvements on my general health...I especially need to add more recreation into my to-do list...but other then that, I'm very grateful. There are so many far worse off then I am.
Brothers and sisters, consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work."
Just keep doing what you feel is God's will for the moment (without getting yourself in a tizzy over it...lol), and God will provide the grace you need.
