I was so there years ago. It makes me praise the Lord that He has changed my heart on this and shown me that it is NOT about me but about Him and my relationship with Him. :) (And Settingcaptivesfree.com has a great bible study about just that which I went through after I had mostly gotten past the food/weight obsession.:))

This post really hits close to home, and I appreciate your transparency. I was just thinking the other day how sad it is that I have focused on my weight so much since my teen years. Looking back, I always wanted to be thinner and could never appreciate my healthy size. I don't make some of the extreme choices I did during high school and college attempting to attain that elusive goal weight, but

Kellie- I am also so thankful for your transparency. I struggle to know where the balance lies. Currently I am doing a 12 week program to try to lose some weight (still holding on to that baby weight). I think I am handling it healthfully but I would be lying if I said I didn't think about it almost constantly throughout the day. I know God does ask us to be good stewards of our bodies but

Good for you! I have had this struggle, too. It's amazing how it can control your life. It starts innocently, then grows and grows. I found, like you, that the only solution is in giving it up to God. Somedays I only have to give it up once. Other days, I'm trying to give it up every 10 minutes. Thanks for sharing from your heart -- and sharing the truth that God is showing you.

This is really funny and really sad at the same time. I mean, we all do this -- measure our worth in chickens or friends or the brand names on our jeans. God has so much more in store for us!! Yet we never see it when measuring our worth for ourselves. We've got to look at ourselves and our lives the way HE sees them. THANK YOU for the reminder!

So whatcha goin' do with that $20?

You're telling my story except that you're on the happy side of it & I think I haven't quite gotten there yet. I'd like to have a greater body acceptance. I'd like to remember that I am more than my outward appearance... I tend to feel that way about everyone but me.

I wrote on my blog a week or so ago about numbers and how they change things in my head, so I understand how the power of

You are so honest and I love that. It's hard to get anyone to tell the truth about this subject.

The chicken scale story made me smile. :) Thank God that he doesn't count our worth according to the number on the scale.

Congratulations! It's hard getting past the weight thing, the pressure comes at you from so many different and unexpected directions, doesn't it?

Congrats on winning. I loved this blog it was so encouraging to me. I am on the same path as you when it comes to trying to fully accept my true worth in Christ. You are an awesome lady! Thanks for being so honest in your blogs.

I can relate to this more than I'd like to admit. Thanks for being so transparent. This line is SO true for me.

"I have realized how much I think about it; how much I depend on the scale to either boost my ego or ruin my day."

Sad but true. It's nice to know that I'm not alone. And more importantly, that God looks not on the outward appearance but on the heart. :-) So

You go girl!

Your story is cracking me up b/c it sounds SOOOO much like something I would do. Thanks again. I have printed out my True cards and feel on my way to victory -whew! Step 1 - right? Congratulations on the $20!!! Since you obviously love coffee I hope you get an amazingly great cup of coffee with it:)
