I'm asking for prayers for myself. I have always struggled with a weight problem and over the years i have not dedicated myself to this life style like i desire to do. I try and do good for a week or two and then I feel defeated and give up. All the while I continue to gain more and more weight. There is no doubt that I am a very blessed person but some days I feel so useless. Please pray I can get my heart and mind together and change my ways! Thank each and every one in advance for the prayers!!

God Bless You dear child of God. Jesus died so we would have VICTORY over our sin (Gluttony), which we ALL struggle with. I know your struggle as I have the same struggle. Surrender is hard, yet Jesus is there waiting for me/you to surrender our meals to HIM. One meal at a time. HE wants me/you to have victory even though I/you do not feel like I/you deserve it. You/I do deserve it because HE DIED for you/me. HE SUFFERED in our place so we could have HIS grace, love, mighty power to conquer my/your sinful nature. HE WANTS ME/YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL. Just ONE meal at a time!!!! God Bless You dear.
We that know the Lord all live by his Grace each day. He loves you and wants you to love yourself enough to discipline yourself. You can do this, it is not rocket science. Be careful that you are not sabotaging yourself. I did this for several weeks when trying to recommit to the program myself. I can so empathize with the feelings you said about being a blessed person. I am also. Realize your worth. One day at a time. Keep your focus on God. Keep him with you, in your thoughts, etc. throughout the day. I recommend listening to the word through a cd. Let it permeate your heart.
God will help you each step of the way! Jeremiah 29:11
