On the same note, I am very thankful for two books that have been super encouraging to me about this whole food issue. The books are reinforcing what I have already come to know. One, is "A Woman of Moderation" by Dee Brestin (it does focus on the food issue, but can apply to any area needing moderation in your life). The other book is "Never Say Diet Again" (that is going to be a little hard for me.... I have probably said that word thousands of times :) by Chantell Hobbs (I could be misspelling her first name). Her story is one of the most encouraging and motivating stories I have read when it comes to this issue. I have been inspired by her story!!! I bought the book in the Christian bookstore, and in the book she talks about God, so that is a plus to me. She tells of the day that God spoke to her heart, and she was never the same after that day. She lost 200 pounds!!! Go Girl!!!
Well, gotta go wash my face, or else I will wake up to blemish city... you would think I would be done with all of that stuff at this age...OK, was that too much info??? I could have just said my normal thing...Blessings to you all!!!

Congrats on the weight loss sweetie, love you.
Wow, that's great, I'm so proud of you.
God is definitely dealing with me food as I have been fasting.
Gosh...it truly has such power over us. I want to hunger after Him like I do food.
Blessings to you on your journey!
KK,
I posted a comment to you on my last post (Wordless Wednesday post)..go look at it...
Where oh, where has my Jenny friend gone? I have seen no comments from you :(
Euchre (spelled right?) pictures coming soon :)
I love your blog - can you teach me how to do this? I think I love your church! WOW! I just linked from somewhere to somewhere and i was suppose to be in bed an hour ago...good night.
I'm Sheri by the way! :)
Oh, that's precious Kim!
Can't tell you how delighted I was that you called. Now, I have a lovely voice to go with the lovely words you give to me. Wonder how you know how to get into someone's thoughts and encourage them so deeply about what they are doing. We all live with ourselves and every one of us needs encouragement. I just love what you are about, Kim! So enjoyed the time with you! I think you are absolutely precious! My love and hugs to you, Bev
My fwend,
I am SOOOO proud of you! You are doing awesome! Once again, we travel the same journey - and not even on purpose. God is so good! I know great blessings are in store for you as you continue to "Deny yourself"
Love ya to pieces!!!!!
p.s yes, "Euchre" is spelled right - can't wait to see the pictures.
p.s.s I wouldn't expect too many comments from our friend Jenny. She has YET to even comment once on my blog! She SO takes advantage of our friendship. : )I can say that because she probably won't stop by to read it anyway (you know now I have to tell her to come check out the comment I left on your blog about her....hehe)
Great post!! Thanks for sharing. I am going to have to check out BOTH of those books in my own quest for surrender, moderation, and weight loss. Happy TT!!
Love your honest post and your success. Thankful books are an encouragement to you.
Hi,
I'm back. This is the link to the guy you saw on TBN the other night. Our pastor was a guest on the show that night also!

Blessings to you!
I am so very happy for you and you are so encouraging to me. I am with you in wanting to lose weight and I know I do indeed need the Lords help. God Bless!
I KNOW with my own experience the wonderful feeling of accomplishment with dissapearing pounds! Congrats! Unfortunately, right now...I have none of those good feelings of myself...(as I sit here eating my lunch of Chick Filet!)
I applaud your dedicated heart!
Congratulations to you! Thanks for mentioning the books, too. Our family is learning a lot about moderation these days. I'd love to look into them.
Congratualtions on your weight loss! We can do all things thru Christ who strengthens us! Happy TT!!
Blessings,
Patty
I'm happy for you, congratulations! Those sound like good books to read.
You are doing great! I feel like God has changed me from the inside out the last few weeks... I feel like a new person. It's very exciting, and I am finding dieting much easier now too.
Congratulations on your weight loss.
When we think about all the 'things', including diet, what we hold onto and don't give over to the Lord...hm, I think I have some areas in my life that I still hold onto.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.
Blessings to you and yours.
I can't even remember where I came across your blog but I'm glad I did. I am focusing on the same issue (moderation). Thanks for the book ideas and the encouragement.
Kelli
