General Discussion / My First Day
« on: January 05, 2012, 02:26:08 PM »
Okay, today is the day of new beginnings......
My church has went on a fast for the month of Jan. 2012 (from food etc.) and I'm believing to do so myself, but from sugar.
I need all the encouragement I can get. Let me give you some background info. I'm a 42 year old female, I was an alcoholic for about 20 years and have not had a drink in 4 years. Once I gave up the bottle, I took on another addiction (sugar) and the scale has been working overtime since.
To make matters worse, I have an identical twin sister and she is 38lbs thinner, no fun looking at someone that looks like you and wonder if your husband thinks "oh this is what my wife could look like", honestly, my husband is such an awesome support. I have been praying and asking the Lord for self control.
Just looking for thoughts and prayers.
Thank You, Betty Jo
