This is my favorite key. I was on legalistic diets for so long with a lot of food rules. It still amazes me that I can eat foods I really enjoy and feel good and still maintain the weight release. Before maintenance I was amazed that I actually released weight while eating my favorite foods.
Today our neighbor brought homemade applesauce which was still warm. I went to town and bought icecream and had that applesauce with icecream for lunch and nothing else. I was at a strong 0 so it really tasted good. Thank you God for this new found freedom
I also must remember that even though all things are lawful not all things are beneficial. Also to eat in moderation and always invite God to guide decisions.
For example I like the taste of folgers coffee in the evening but if I drink it I am awake most of the night so it is not a good choice for me. I like pizza but have swelling in my fingers and legs if I eat a couple of pieces so it is not a good choice.

weightism
What is weightism? Weightism is the same as racism or being sexist. Do we accept ouselves right now the way we are or are we being weightist against ourselves. Do we allow others to be weightist with us?
If I can't accept and love myself when I am heavy I probably will not when not heavy. If I do release the weight without accepting myself I will probably be weightist toward others who are struggling when the weight is released.
Are there any areas of prejudice in my life that are displeasing to the Lord who loves all people, all shapes and all sizes.

valuable
This morning during my prayer and Bible study I felt like the Lord was telling me that He loves me. That I am valuable and precious to Him. He loves me enough to die for me.
Oh Lord, if only we could see ourselves through your eyes. I wept as you told me of your love. Forgive me Lord for the way I have treated this body and soul that you regard as precious. That you created. Forgive me for the way I have allowed others to treat me, your prized possession. Help me to treat myself and others as valuable and loved. To see us the way you see us.
In Jesus Name, Amen
