Tuesday was my first day in a long while to come home and not immediately reach for food to comfort or distract me. Often this isn't a widely shared struggle- I love that this venue allows us to see we are not alone and there are many others who understand some of what we are working through. I pray each of us will be encouraged. Of course we want our appearance to change as we undertake this journey but I hope we all know that alone does not define who we are. Looking forward to hearing your stories and walking closer with Christ on this journey. Blessings!

    That is wonderful. By making the choice to join MFP and this group, you have set your sights on something other than food. That is a great decision and I wish you great success. If you want, you can friend me.

    Hello everyone! I'm new here! I'm a CPhT in Iowa. I work at a pharmacy inside a GROCERY STORE, and over the past 7 years, I've gained 75 lbs. because its so easy to eat whatever you want. Well, that's ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE! My 1st goal is to lose 50 lbs. When I accomplish that, I'm buying myself a new Coach handbag (because I love them.) My 2nd goal will be to lose another 25 lbs. Not sure what treat I'll get then, perhaps the latest iPad that is available! Anyway, hope you can all help encourage me, and I'll do the same for you! <3

    Hi! I've only been doing this a few days but it is helping tremendously! It is so great to be able to hear other peoples stories and know that we aren't trying to do this alone. May your journey be one of increasing joy and peace through the power of the Holy Spirit!
