I posted this is my group "With a little help from Jesus" - I dont want to put my spiritual beliefs on anyone so I just put the top part - if you want to read "the message" part it is under my group
Hello!!!
So I write a monthly message and below was a message I wrote "What are you armed with" (hope you like it)
as I was thinking about the weekend ahead I thought, what can I arm myself with to stay the course with eating. FIrst and foremost I need Jesus in my pocket - no doubt - prayer is a constant - constant commune with him. But I also need to set up my fridge, my plans if any to not sabatage all the good habits I was trying to accomplish this week. - Fresh fruit washed and ready to eat in fridge. Cut up veggies ready. Hummus in single servings. If I go out to eat or go to a party - have a ittle of everything - like if at a resturant and there are appitizers...just have one or some instead of all - I still get to enjoy but I also am putting limits. I know Im going to a movie - where I love to eat candy - but do I really want the candy...can I make up my own treat bag at home with a few things I enjoy but are healthy? The biggest thing I can arm myself with is "I am worth taking care of" I am worth finding new ways to adjust an eat. Its never to late. I am not perfect but I am being made in his image and he wants me to be heatlhy so I can do more and be more. Im going to keep repeating that to myself.
I do some mentoring and cousnleing and when I meet a girl who is broken and feeling unloveable I buy her post it notes and a marker and we write down fabulosu things about her to post on her mirror and tell her self that every day. I encourage you to do the same. Blessings and prayers to break the chains that bind you.

I love the idea of being armed. Tomorrow I am going on a day trip with a friend and I had not thought about arming myself. I am going to be packing a snack bag that will definitely decrease the amount of vendor food I eat. Nice one!0

I love the idea of being armed!! I was just saying that I need to be better prepared when out and about, but I like the term "ARMED" better. It is a battle we're fighting. We're fighting hunger, cravings, moodswings, boredom, sabotage (from ourselves as well as others), and we're fighting for willpower!!! Yes, I love the term "ARMED" because we are at war! With ourselves for ourselves, and the only way to win is to be properly "ARMED"!!! Thank you for this topic! :flowerforyou: 0
