Chapter 4 Little by little. That is my life. I am a slow learner, and therefore it’s taking me even longer to go a “little bit”. Lately I've been asking myself if I've really allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me, or am I doing life in my own strength? My pride is a beast inside me! It disguises it’s self as other things,…

Chapter 3 Battlefield of the Mind Don’t give up, go through. That has been the tale of my life. The only way out of something, is to go through it. In life, sometimes I've walked through the fire to get to the other side and other times I've quit because it was “too hard,” only then, to walk around the problem again and…

So this is the third time I've written on Chapter 2. (A side note, I also wrote on the introduction a couple times before I got it posted) It’s very interesting that since I started reading this book, “The Battlefield of the Mind,” how my life really did become a battlefield. I stopped doing this study because of it. The…

I know I'm late joining in, and I ask that you forgive me for that. I had the book already, but needed the workbook. I started reading the book again and doing the workbook and the next day I was spiritually attacked. So for the past two weeks it's been a hard haul. I just put it together and realized what was going on. So…

Thank you freedski1! I'll try that. I also am thinking about doing juicing as a supplement.

I wasn't necessarily looking to lose a ton of weight doing this. I was thinking more on the lines of my husband's arthritis and doing it with him to support. Also as a detox. I know what it takes to lose, and I know fad diets don't work. I'm not on a diet. I've done a life style change. But thanks for caring. Just wanted…

I also am addicted to sugar. I've been in denial for so long and I'm coming to the conclusion that I can't have it. It destroys my eating and sends me into a frenzy every single time. Then it takes me several days to get back on track. The longer I'm off of it, the easier it is to stay away from it. I eat fresh fruit that…

Thank you so much for sharing! Today I weighed myself and gained a pound this week. My food has been great and I've exercised every day this week. I was very frustrated and in the past would have given up and went and binged. Thank you for helping me stay on track. The number on the scale does not represent what is…

I am so thankful for this group. I believe that we are mind, body, and spirit and they are all interwoven in our process to lose weight. So to work on just one area doesn't work for me. I have to work on all three. I do have strongholds in my life or I wouldn't be suffering with my weight issues. My sin of gluttony has…

Thank you everyone... for your encouragement and advice! What a blessing this site will be for me. I can already tell this will work... if I work it! Thanks for taking the time to write me. Blessings to all of you and I can't wait to chat more.
