I love seeing the scale go down. I feel amazed to be losing weight well with no diet, it feels great. It is a change that God has been working in me for the past few years now, I am becoming more disciplined, not just with food but on many fronts of my life and I feel stronger and closer to Him then ever.
I still struggle occasionally, I want to lose faster, I want to jump quickly on a fad that will help me lose. But I know I can't go back there. Low carb worked for me, I lost a lot of weight, 70 lbs, and would have sworn by it at one point. But it wasn't sustainable for me. As soon as I started to allow some carbs back in, I lost control in a scary way. I have always struggled with binge eating, but it was nothing like that. This is what I remember everytime I want to jump ship and go back to that.
I am free in Christ, and that's what I have been enjoying. I havent done perfectly. yesterday I pretty much slipped right back into my old ways. What I realize though, is I hate the way I feel those days, I am more irritable, uncomfortable, etc. But most days I can eat in moderation without it even phasing me anymore. I love the freedom.
I hope you all have a blessed day, and are doing well!
