Something I need to remember

25."Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26.Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27.Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ? 28."And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31.So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32.For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33.But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

A Weighty Issue

I've been trying to loose weight for approximately 21 months now. (yeah, Jonas is 21 months old) before he was born i had gotten up to 193 pounds. (I'm only 5 feet tall!) yeah, i was a fatty Mc Fat FAT!! Since march of this year though i'm just fed up with my weight though. so i've REALLY been watching my portions and trying to exercise whenever possible. Last year in june i weighed 161. in March i weighed 153. so i had lost 8 pounds in 9 months! that's pretty pathetic when you think about it! so like i said, i got fed up in March and now i'm down to 139! I'm 19 pounds from my goal!! I'm so excited! this has been a long road for me and i know there's still plenty of road in front of me but the sizes that i've gone down recently are very inspiring to me! Please pray for me and encourage me for the rest of my weight loss journey!

Congratulations on your weightloss so far!! That's a great accomplishment!! I wish you luck with the rest of your journey and to your goal weight. Maybe you can help me when I'm ready after this baby!!! I'm so discouraged about my weight right now..I hate looking at myself. I think my husband and I are going to do Atkin's after the birth. We were doing it late last year and found out I was pregnant...and that's why I wasn't losing, but hopefully it'll be successful this time around. Wish us Luck!!
