Good morning fam - you know how I love to share testimonies! I am so proud that God is helping us ALL to be overcomers. YEA! My party went well last night - the crab legs fab and they loved the dessert - fresh fruit with coconut milk cream. Jennifer was shocked that an all natural, sugar-free dessert could be so good! Stevia tea added a great bonus. I feel sooo good to have checked off another party in a healthy fashion. My test continues: today, birthday party at 11, family Christmas party tomorrow, party at my house on Monday, luncheon party on Wednesday, and lunch meeting on Thursday. YIKES! Praise God for apples. Here's the truth: I can eat anything I CHOOSE. (get it - wink)
two parties in one day and down 0.3 pounds this morning!
I planned ahead and knew what was going to be at the parties and brought
extra fruit and sugar free treats for me just in case.
I ate most of the food provided and honestly had a great time and great
food. Did not feel that I was left out at all as I shared in an earlier
email, this is how I eat now anyway and love it so I am approaching these
parties in a positive way. I also drank tons of water all day to help
I have not come across some of my favorite holiday foods yet, so I know I
must keep my guard up for sure..... my temptation is just around the corner
so I must be ready to face it head on with God's power. I also plan on
cooking my favorite holiday foods in a healthier way next weekend, so again,
I am never left out as some people may think.
If you think about it, if you have great healthy foods you love at hand,
then this healthy lifestyle should be must easier than if you are always
wanting the other foods you thought you just had to have because you are
hungry and have no other options in front of you to eat
Just like with having power scriptures on had in your head and hopefully
heart (that is where the real power comes having the power of God in your
heart where you believe and not just say something to say something just
because......but say God's WORD, which is POWER from your heart and actually
believe God will come to your rescue. Then there is also the body of
Christ to help you when you feel like there is no hope..... you see all of
this works together perfectly as God intended if we all do our part as the
body of Christ there is bound to be a great outcome in some way (Rom. 8:28)
One of my life scriptures!
God is good. Now to yet another eating function today and weekend with
family. Then of course the next Christmas weekend. and then the birthday
weekend with my twin. May God help us all make wise choices and enjoy our
healthy foods so we don't have to give in to unhealthy eating which in my
case can easily lead to eating bondages.
Shared with some friends at a party yesterday that I plan on still fitting
into my clothes in Jan. 2012 and that is a great feeling! Who else is with
me?
Love to all,
Crissy
