Pros and Cons
Using the book Free to be Thin, by Neva Coyle. Is it a good idea? I have so far lost the 'battle' with my weight in every other program i've tried.
Free to be Thin's premise is that you give your eating over to God, and every day ask what you should eat. You also ask how many calories you should eat a day, and what you should weigh.
There is more to it too. Obedience is not a punishment, and we are taught that rich fatty foods are bad for us, and that we can resist temptation, and fleshly indulgence. The author wrote this book after founding an orgnization called Overeaters Victorious (OV) It also teaches that we are in bondage to overeating but God can set us free. It's premise is all that, and that it retrains your habits and patterns.
And I like it. I agree with most of what she teaches, although it seems to bring my obsession with food kind of to the forefront of my mind instead of relieving it. But I think that's just the initial period of going-without torture.
The spiritual benefits are good, we are supposed to 'feast' on the word of the lord instead of overeat. But this program is not one of starvation.
Anyway I've decided to start it. So God help me to be faithful.
In other news; I went to YG tonight (youth group) it was pretty good, 1 Cornthians 15 was the chapter were learning in. I can't seem to connect with any of the girls there. I think It's somehow my fault, I should be more friendly. But my own inadquacies always stop me up, I don't want anyone to know the 'truth' about me, less they should find me an object of abject ridicule. By now I've been going so long that trying to be more friendly, would be kinda weird. And I never know what to say.
A certain someone seems cuter to me all of a sudden, I don't think he likes me, and I don't 'like' him except in the aspect of a friend, He's a pretty funny guy, it's just that he looked very cute tonight. He turns 18 in 2 months, going to college in the fall. That brings home to me the fact that everything changes, I'm 2 years away from college, it seems like just a moment ago I was dreaming of being 10 years old. In a little while 40 will seem young, and life will be in it's sunset for me.
Am I the only teen who is scared of being old? Anyway, I always wax philsophical in the tiny hours of the morning...
Love
