We start tomorrow Sunday the 30 Th of November (the first Sunday of Advent) 11/30 to 12/8 12/9 to 12/17 , 12/18 to 12/26....
St Margret is known as patron Saint of weight loss because of the will she showed in overcoming temptations... As we enter this season of great joy and celebration known for it's excesses I ask of her help in overcoming temptations and keeping me focused while enjoying the holiday season...
With hope that a few will join me in making this Novena a part of the festivities we all enjoy...

Day one in... thoughts on today's prayer guess the word freedom was what what struck a cord... freedom from obsession with food would give me a lot more peace in my life...
Happy New Year my friends may it be a healthy one for all...0 -
Day two in... Thoughts on today's prayer... today it was the word anew after a binge last night I was feeling ashamed ... while still not proud of it I logged it learned form it and will begin ANEW...
wishing you all a great day....0 -
day 3 of novena... Today the phrase" discouraged by criticism or elated by praise" jumped out at me ... how often I have let both of these derail me from my personal goals ... listening to other voices instead of following Gods plan for me and following my own intuition...
todaytry not let praise or criticism be our motivators...0 -
day 4.... it spoke of St Margret's weeping in sorrow and in joy... having been teased or thought of as weak for being a weeper myself her ability to express these emotions openly made me think of how often we suppress our need to do so... how this for me and I suspect a few of you leads to anger ,frustration and that feeling of emptiness that comes from feeling not heard, misunderstood and just plain lonely... leading me to seek comfort from food... not a good choice...
Tomorrow lets not be afraid to share our sorrows and joys and we may just experience grace and abundance...0 -
Day five... Humility is the word of the day...Well this poster for one has been very humbled of late ... after a good run the last few weeks have been a series slips and slides ...binge eating, lying at least by omission in diary recording if it was a bad day why log it was my rational ... So today I share this shame with you showing my vulnerability in hopes that by admitting my weakness and letting you in... the strength of will and grace of God that got me to goal will also strengthen me through maintenance...
returning to me the grace and abundance I spoke of in yesterdays post...0 -
Day 6... word of the day is example... what kind do I want to set a good one or a poor one... we lead by example much more than we realize... even the seemingly small choices can have a significant impact on us and those we come in contact with...
Today let me be mindful of my choices...0
