Don't envy what the world has to offer; it is an illusion that will fade away only after it is too late to turn back. (Daily Devotion on YouVersion.com) I frequently find myself fighting the ever present urge to eat what I should not. An emotional eater years in the making. So I often turn to the Bible as my source for peace and comfort. My journey has been a long one, and I have still a ways to go. But I keep having to tell myself that I have come so far to give in now! I am not tied to the number on the scale, that is ONLY one way to measure my progress. I look back at pictures, and I see the change! I look back at my A1c reports and I see the changes there!! I am no longer on insulin...huge change!! So the number on the scale goes up a little. I know that I did not cheat on my diet. I know that I exercised extra this past week...and for whatever reason the scale is not telling me the result of that truth. I feel exhausted this week...I work with a young woman in a wheelchair, and I love my job. But this past weekend, I went hiking with her. Whew!!! Wow!! We had a blast...but am I tired, muscles ache like crazy!! But no regrets...Anyways, everyone have a wonderful day!!!
