I almost feel guilty asking for prayers but I know the Lord says not to worry but to pray about everything- not just big things, everything. I am struggling lately trying to get myself on track. I am so addicted to food- mostly sugary stuff. Once I start it is very hard for me to stop. Two years ago this July I joined Shibboleth and have had great success. I lost around 36lbs. My very lowest was 164, from 202. I have gained some of the weight back and am now around 183. Every day for several weeks I say I am getting started and then I let the diet devil grab me. I am ashamed to say, but he doesn't have to work very hard now days. I look back on the time I lost weight and it seemed so easy then. Maybe because it was new. I said then,it was the easiest thing I had ever done and I have never lost weight with any other program. I was on cloud nine!! I taught my son and he has done an awesome job and continues to do so good. He's my hero now. I am going to dig deep in the word, pray for strenght and guidance and revisit my why. Thank you all so much for joining with me in prayer. Please pray for all the victims in Orlando, the 2 year old's family who lost his life, and our country and our soon to be President. This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through. Tricia Traylor
We don't have to know one another to pray and support one another. Praying for you my Shibboleth friend.
Tricia, I am in the same boat as you. Praying for all of us that get on the fence.
get hot sweetie! don't be lukewarm--u know how to do it--God will help you!
Thank you all so much for your prayers!! It means a lot.
I too have done the same. It is hard to come back and it is a mind set. Start with a commitment of eating right one day at a time. Focus just on that day. I cue a lot of gum between meals and work on finding something to do with my time. This has helped my move forward, now I'm on the Trinity Challeng #3. Just don't ever give up. God will go with you, keep you, guide you, just ask Him and listen for His small quiet VOICE. God Bless You.
Hi Tricia. Appreciate you being so transparent. God cannot help us unless we admit we needed help. It is the first step for a miracle. Just keep it going, friend. I am backing you all up in prayers. I speak and declare right now that the enemy has no more hold in you. He was already defeated. Devil! I command you right now to flee and take all your lies and schemes in the mighty name of Jesus. I also pray that Jesus will be in complete control in you. Lord, help her to die herself and all its unhealthy and poor choices. Be in complete control Lord. Thank you for the victory and we bring You back all the glory and praises, in Jesus' name, amen.
This has been my prayer too, nearly identical actually! I was 170 when I started the program, got to 138, stayed around 140-145 for a year, then suddenly...185. I just couldn't stop eating. Fried food and sugary, and like you, once I start I can't stop. I have cried in Dr.'s offices (3 times) over having to adjust my diet. The trinity challenge has been a life saver for me, but I know that it may not be for where you are right now. Your prayer request resonates so strongly with me; I am going to pray right now. Thanks for sharing.
I have never totally left the program and still hold to lots of good things I've learned but I am on the fence so to speak, most of the time.
