Satan! Get your big, fat foot off of MY SCALE!!!

Hanfordrose

Here is a little illustration that I did on my computer today.

It is a reminder that Satan would love to discourage us, when we step on the scale. He wants us miserable and thinking that we are are never going to succeed. He is that nasty, little, nagging voice that tells us that we will always be fat and can't possibly stick to our food plan.

I have lost 43 pounds since Thanksgiving; and I didn't do that by listening to that sorry, no good for nothin' loser. When I get on the scale, I ask God for His help and wisdom in what I am doing. Sometimes, I forget to pray; and I have discovered that the scale seems to give me bad news. That's when I have to step off the scale and tell Satan..."Get thee behind me!" Better yet..."Get your big, fat foot off of MY SCALE!!!"

I hope that this little illustration might help someone today.

I don't blame some imaginary imp for my scale being wonky. I blame my wonky scale.....and I blame my body for not cooperating with my efforts.....

Satan is no imaginary imp to me, Sis. I know what he did in my life, before I realized who I was serving in those dark, old days. I was 57 years old, before I discovered the truth, and my life has never been the same. I am so blessed.

My Lord is with me and supporting me in everything that I do. I ask for His help and get it. He is my strength, when I am weak.

My problems were the elves and the voices in my head.

But the voices in my head finally told me to kill the elves and bury their little bodies so their little elfin feet wouldn't step on my damn scale again.

Problem solved.

Now if I can just get my unicorn to stop dragging his butt across my living room floor and leaving rainbows everywhere . . .

Don't preach at me please. Was merely telling you that I don't blame some devil for scales not budging......Besides, topics like these are generally not allowed here, being that it's religiously-filled and religion can be a very divisive topic. It would be better to put it in one of the many christian groups that exist....

Teach your unicorn to wipe its bum after dropping rainbows!

I thought Satan had hooves.




Good message though. Don't listen to that voice telling you that you can't succeed. Some times it's your friends or even your spouse. Just keep doing the right things.

Oh! Is that what the pink Hello Kitty TP is for?

It's not there for eating or decoration, so yes!

Amen, sista! Preach! Thank you so much for your original post and this comment! I needed to hear this today! I stand in agreement with you in regards to our battles! With God, we can do anything!

I was afraid that the strawberry scent would give the unicorn a glitter rash

Amen! Keep motivated and keep praying

Oh Satan, you cheeky bugger! Always messing with people's scales..

slipandsink

I'm happier blaming my lack of motivation and exercise on a rising number on the scales rather than some inane mystical entity, and equally my success on my hard work than some supreme being that doesn't exist.

HE PUT HIS BIG FAT FOOT ON MINE SO MUCH THAT I JUST STAY AWAY FROM IT. I LIKE THE HUMOR OF YOUR POST.:laugh:

Or you can choose not to read her post if it offends you.......Satan is alive and well....thank goodness I have God.......

You are so right about this! You preach it girl! I needed to read this today. Funny how someone can try to knock you down and be all hateful and condescending but when you defend yourself (not in a condescending way) they are offended. Must be a "tolerance" screamer

I always wonder why people who don't share beliefs with others, so freely comment...and usually disrespectfully.

God is my strength and driving force, even in weight loss. Good for you for knowing that! The number on the scale isn't the most important part, though. Remember that! Be healthy!

To put it out there, there are Christian groups on MFP that this might be better received.
