Trying desperately to find the magic answer right now. I had crept back up to 254 lbs on Sunday. That day I made a decision that after 22 years of being a Christian that I was going to take the final step and be baptized. It was just a question of when. I made a deal with God that if I were down 7 lbs by next Sunday I would do this act of obedience. In just two days I am down to 249 pounds. I figure that he allowed me to lose 5 lbs in just 2 days...so he must really want me to do this! I wrote my testimony last night. I sent it to my pastor today. This coming Sunday I will be immersion baptized in one of the lakes here in Minnesota. Won't be pretty to watch for those on shore. However, with God's assistance maybe I can break through this plateau that I have been struggling with the last six months. I am excited to do this but ultimately would love to be at my lowest again of 243 when it happens. That is 11 lbs that I would need to lose in a week. Probably not realistic...but if there was ever a time, it should happen with God's help!

I used to think I was making deals with God when I was bulimic. I didn't realize until later that God doesn't make deals. I now pray that His Will be done not mine as mine tends to get me into trouble. Happy Baptism!

Well for now this deal with God seems to be working for me. I am down 6 lbs from Sunday. Maybe it is attainable to get to my previous low again! My hubby also signed our family up for water board training. It is like standing on a big flat surfboard and paddling yourself around all these lakes in Minnesota. The boards hold up to 240 lbs...so for me to do it, I should be down there by the 24th. Which is a little over a week away. That is 8 lbs to get to that from where I am now. Motivation and God will keep me on track to reach both of these goals...I am confident about that. I have no other option but success in my mind.

God will help us if we only believe in him !! Just a little story how God helped me. I was a smoker for 35 years and now have COPD .I really didn't want to quit but one day I told my husband I am done smoking after this cigarette ,I cried because I didn't want to put it out. So I bowed my head and said aloud." Here God I have a gift for you ,I don't want them anymore and I have not touched one in 7 years.

Whatever it takes to give us the motivation we need is good. It's part of making peace with yourself which is the most important part of weight reduction. You can do this!!
