Hello to all and may you be abundantly blessed. It’s a good thing that I’m a pretty level headed guy. I can roll with just about anything. Today I could relate to Jim Carrey in that scene in liar,liar where he beat himself up in the bathroom. If I had the nerve I probably wouldn’t have been so nice to myself.
Last week I went to lifestyles to work out and much to my delight the scale said that I was down a total of 24 lbs. SWEET! It gave me the inspiration to go off on a beast of a work out. Man! I felt great! Then I let my guard down a little. After all everyones telling me how good I look, My old clothes fit now etc, etc. Dinner at church on Sunday, well maybe a little extra helping of Hopes famous beans, how about an apple and a pear for dessert. Next thing I know that old familiar feeling of overeating is saying...Hello, I’ve missed you! Long story short, I went to the gym today and the scale told me the truth that I didn’t want to hear...2 1/2 pounds to the north. Maybe I’m being a little hard on myself, but this is the point that I’ve always had trouble with.
So now, I’ll be upset for today, but tomorrow, better choices, more intense workouts until those 2 1/2 pounds and all the others that have plagued me throughout my life are gone. I can see in my minds eye what I’ll look like and I want it bad. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. He has brought me this far and I refuse, absolutely refuse to turn back now or ever. Pray for me and I’ll do likewise for you....In Christ...Marty… P.S. Its on now!

Bro. Marty,
You and the whole team are doing great! Don’t worry about the couple pounds,you will lose that and more next time. Be proud of how far you have come. I know exactly how you feel when you are hard on yourself.I am my worst enemy when it comes to being hard on me. Keep smiling and the Lord will continue to help you through all things.Love and prayers,

Brother Marty
Wazz Up? Oh I know the scale. My friend I have seen you do things you said you had not done in years if ever (How cool is that). I have only known you but a couple of months and I know you will come right back. Just take a hammer the next time you head to the scale that seems to help, I either use it on the scale or myself. Life is great enjoy it all partner.
Peace

Marty,
Just checking in on you and see that you are a bit down. My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!! You can do it and you will! It’s ok to have a little set back from time to time, life is never perfect, right? This week will be better.

The best thing about your overeating is that you’ve learned from it. Just remember that feeling and your thoughts so that the next time (and there WILL BE A NEXT TIME) you’ll be better prepared to overcome it. So it’s a positive thing!
Keep up the good work and remember...You are soooo worth it!
Your Teammate,
Sonya

Hey Dude so you gained 2.5 lbs but guess what they will come down next week +. You know what did it, you said so Sunday after the great meal we had. No discouragement here just positives.
The Good Lord will help you.

Marty,
Don’t worry about the little gain. Remember you’re still 21.5 pounds lighter than you used to be! That’s a great accomplishment! The most important thing you did was recognize your mistake and now you will learn from it. Keep on working hard and putting God first and He will bless you. God bless,
Dan and Sunshine

Marty, Marty, Marty.....
Do you REALLY think that put 2-1/2 pounds on you?
You pooped it out by time you weighed in.
I’m glad you’re choosing not to beat yourself up. That isn’t from God. :o)
Your body is more used to the exercise level you’re keeping, it’s going to be harder. Lose 1-2 pounds a week, and you’re more likely to keep it off.
Food isn’t bad for you. Food is not your enemy.
Satan is your enemy. Denying yourself pleasure isn’t
from God, either.
Next time, IN ADVANCE give yourself permission to have some of Hope’s beans. It’s ok to treat yourself! Go in with a plan, you’ll be less tempted to over-do it at the table.
Satan was condemning you for that 2-1/2 pounds.... don’t let him.
