Hebrews 13:5- 6 comes to mind right now, and eve verse 8-9 as you are struggling with the weight coming off...God's graces is where your strength comes from. So during this time you are wrestling it is hard for other things to line up. Be gentle to yourself,just like you would others. Maybe a 3 point list for each day may be all you need to do for now. You can possibly make quiet time with the Lord, listening to some worship, and writing down your deeper questions of God in a Dear God: Letter Format. When you have done this, just be still, and listen for his reply, when you feel some response come to you, Begin another letter beginning with Dear _________(insert your name): and record the response you receive through your quiet time with God. You will grow in this ability to hear God as you still you mind, and you will receive inner healing from Him.
Then move on to rest, or maybe take in some water, a brief walk, and then tackle the rest of the day as noted on your list.
God bless you sister.

Dear nursy14, I'm so sorry about how you're feeling. God loves you and has good things for you - not stress. Prayer is the first way to fight stress. I want to encourage you to pray and give your burdens to God every single day, and that will help you lose weight and will help with the other stresses in your life. Cast all your burdens on God because he truly cares for you. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. He does not require all of the things that society and modern life demand and that we demand of ourselves. Even if we are overweight and unsuccessful, he loves us. All he wants from us is our hearts, because he has given us his heart. When we give him that, everything else will fall into place. Seek first his kingdom, and everthing else will be given to you. I pray that you find rest, comfort and hope in whatever you are going through now.0

Nursy14, I am sorry that you are feeling down. There is a song my mom and aunts would sing when I was a child, a few of the words were "One day at a time sweet Jesus thats all I'm asking from you...I'm only human, help me believe in what I could be and all that I am...Lord for my sake teach me to take one day at a time." The words are mixed up but you can find the lyrics and song online. Despite what your going through you can only take things one day at a time.0

Nursy14, I can totally relate to how you feel. I have struggled with being down about my weight and the struggle it's been to get it off. I've beat myself up for gaining the weight on top of all the other stresses in life (which for time sake I won't go into, but it's been a tough year) Ladies thank you for the encouragment. It's good to be reminded of truth. I need that daily. Here's to walking thru our weight lose journey together, with other sister's in Christ!0
