@justgirl81
Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated!
I’ve learned what foods work for me to curb the hunger feelings. M-F I stick to a typical eating routine. I drink a ton of water to help feel full throughout the day. I avoid as much empty carbs as possible. On weekends I do not track my food but I do try to be mindful of what I’m eating. I just refuse to give in to the temptation for the foods that will hinder my plan. All that said -
I also applaud your dedication to be in the Word on a daily basis. It is encouraging and convicting so thank you for putting that goal out there for us to see, very commendable Sister!1 -
Glad to see BOTH of you still posting here! Keep it up! @ninerbuff had this thread going for years before I joined, several people have come and gone (both before and after I joined). Most of the time it's just the two of us posting (or just Niner on weekends, he's a beast lol). Be great if you kept up with us for the long haul!1

That’s the plan for me. I hope to live it out. I was on MFP before but got off for sometime. I came back to track my food to shed a few pounds. When I found this thread I liked the no frills, low key vibe. I hope to be an encouragement to others as each of you are to me. ninerbuff’s commitment to this thread is an inspiration for sure!!!0 -

NVR,
I appreciate your compliment as well; I personally rely on the Bible and always want to understand God more accurately. I find daily study helps me stay grounded in this unstable world.
I agree that empty carbs are definitely not helpful. I eliminated all processed sugar and flour years ago. I struggle with over-consumption of starchy vegetables; ridiculous but true. 1 -

Lol, had to do a double-take when I saw you reply to "Noff" before I realized that was an attempt to make sense of my user ID. You can call me Noss if you like, that's what the military did.1

@ Noss, seems that pizza - pizza might be a common go to when we forget to prepare for the days meal. It happens here as well.
@justgirl81 WOW, you said it; unstable world for sure! I think being grounded in the Word is the highest priority a person can choose. Well done on purging the processes sugar and flour. I hope you’re able to find a good balance of starchy vegetables that will be best for you.0 -

I need to make some drastic changes. I've been wallowing in depression and letting people down right and left. To make matters worse, I've been coping with the depression by smoking. I am ready to stop breaking plans and start showing up depressed and uncomfortable because that's what its going to take to grow and get past this. I went through a very hard breakup and it's time to let go and live.2 -

justgirl81 so sorry to hear you’re struggling. I can’t say I understand depression but I know it’s a powerful thing to deal with. My father struggled with it around retirement age and was never able to get through it he basically just gave up on life. I hope you find your way through it.
As far as relationships, I’ve found that as I went through the break ups I wasn’t able to see the obvious positive signs until later on. Each one I thought of as a failure were actually preparing me to be ready to build a life with my best friend and wife of 38yrs. Had it not been for the heartaches and lessons learned I could have never committed myself to her like I have. Keep the faith and continue to press on and allow the trials of this life to develop you into the woman you were destined to be. 2 Cor 12:9&102 -

While I do say this all the time, it's pretty harsh but it is reality and sometimes people just need to hear it to pick themselves up.justgirl81 wrote: »Thursday

I was married 25 years and we're still good friends, but it's hard moving on once you've been with someone that long even though your connection faded.
Life goes on WITH or WITHOUT you. The majority of the world really doesn't care what your situation is. So YOU have to the the guide that continues to make your life the way you want. Time does help to heal wounds, create forgiveness for what you may have failed at and again the reality is no one out there sees your pain, but look for what it is that helps to bring a smile to their face. When you can help people to smile and bring out the best in them, it really is much easier to start feeling good about you.
