Good afternoon My Fitness Pals! I am looking for more pals to encourage as well as receive encouragement of my own. I have gained back a good ten pounds and need real people to travel this journey with. If you are serious please consider being my pal! I know that "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth ME"! We can do this thing Together!

I look forward to hearing from you!

    I have Phil 4:13 tattooed on my left wrist to remind me that I can do all things because I tend to forget... a lot. I am a runner.. a runner who became injured and had to have hip surgery this past October. Unable to use my right leg for 6 weeks. I lost a ton muscle in my right thigh and gained over 25 lbs (this is 25 of the 80 I was trying to maintain) . Then I started PT. My progress wasn't as fast as it should have been and I ended up switching PTs in January. Then I found out I will eventually have to have surgery on my left hip... however, I have been prayed over and keep praying for healing. I got in my mind that Ill never run again. But then I switched my thinking and worked hard to get the weight I gained off (Ive lost 18 of what I gained so far). I worked diligently at strengthening my hips. Here I am March, no more PT AND Ive been running again! Praise the Lord for he is Good! I CAN AND WILL do ALL things IN CHRIST! Please feel free to add me. I would love to have more fellow Christians to encourage and to receive encouragement. xoxo

    I am looking for friends and support also. I am ashamed to admit this, but I have heard the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I am overweight. I am a binge-eater, and I need help to quit binge eating forever. The day before I began my fitness pal I consumed approximately 8,830 calories in one day, and it wasn't even a special occasion. I calculated it. Though, I am sure there were many days in which I consumed more than this. In fact, I don't know if that day would even make my top 100 binge-eating days, but I never calculated how many calories I consumed those other days. One day I ate two medium full-size delivery pizzas loaded with toppings. Another day, my mother gave me a huge extremely sweet, rich, and chocolatey ice cream cake for my birthday, and I ate the entire cake within two days except for two small slices. In December, I went to the movie theater, and just while watching one film I consumed 3 jumbo popcorn containers with extra butter by myself. I think I could talk about my binge-eating failures for hours. However, when I am not binge-eating I eat mostly low-calorie healthy food. When I am not binge-eating I am a strong proponent for saving the environment and eating healthy, and when I am binge eating I feel like a hypocrite. Though, I love good tasting food so much that I feel like I could eat it forever. I really appreciate food that makes my taste senses explode with joy. I also binge-eat during almost all celebrations or when I am depressed. Additionally, when I am not binge-eating I think very few people eat healthier than me. I have been doing okay recently, but I do not know when I will not be able to resist the urge to binge eat again. To complicate things I am a Christian, and in Christianity over eating is considered the sin of gluttony. I am trying to get in shape because 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV reads: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." Thus, I really want to get in as good of shape as possible spiritually and physically.
