Diet buddy

Hi all, i'm looking for a Christian diet buddy to lose weight with.

Years ago, I lost weight years ago with a non christian friend and realised the absolute benefits of having someone to encourage you when your motivation may be low. I've spent enough time at my current size to know i'd like to lose the excess weight.

Another thing that has changed is that i take my life in Christ very seriously and would like to be able to pray througchallenges the challenges that I may come across whilst trying to lose this excess weight. I think bringing the challenges to the Lord through prayer of agreement would be excellent for this.

We do not have to be in the same geography but we have to be able to talk/Skype regularly. Reply if you are interested.

Hi all,

To two wonderful people who sent me messages. I've tried to reply and in doing so found out you have to have posted 15 times. This post makes my second!!

hope we speak soon, Charochez

Hi Tashaleeministry

No named diet in particular, I've been listening to the Lord. what I mean is
The first two weeks I changed nothing except for drinking two litres of water per day. Then after that I heard that I should eat vegetables for lunch (soups salads). This advise has revolutionised my work life because usually I end up really tired around 3pm and now I don't ( praise God!). I used to eat cake and chocolate and have a soda like clockwork at 3pm everyday but now I have a homemade fruit salad and a tropicana juice which I add wheatgrass, chlorophyll and vitamin e to which is actually delicious

I was doing exercise too but i've lapsed these past two weeks. Hoping to do the jillian michaels dvd tomorrow.

Are you dieting at the moment?

You said two things which had me whooping:
Learning to nourish the body and
Stewarding the body

These are two things I need to know for sure! For the rest of your post I was like 'wow'. I was wondering what made you transition from being full of junk to nourishing your body? What caused you to see that?

For me years and years ago I heard God say to lose the weight. I tried to do it in my own strength but I kept failing, i'd start on monday (diets always seem to start on Monday) and by Friday it was usually over. I also questioned whether I was hearing that the Lord wanted me to take better care of my body but I've read a lot of accounts of preachers who the Lord spoke to about weight and health so that put me at ease.

The hardest thing right now is I want to have everything right now! I want the weight to go away at a snap of a finger, lol. Oh and the other thing when i'm relaxing I find myself wanting to eat and it's not out of hunger.
I can't wait to see you website, I have only one more post to go and I can finally view links

Hi! Sorry I've replied so late, i've been so busy. What you've said resonates. I didn't have an official eating disorde but I definitely wasn't making eating choices that intended for me to live long or enjoy living.

I cannot wait to see you're blog, I get the feeling that I could learn a thing or two just by reading about your journey

Hi I've had a chance to look at your blog and it's wonderful. you look fantastic and the irony is that your beauty is as a result of being faithful to GOD and stewarding the body, not focusing on wanting to be thin or anything like that.

I'm just about to go on there now to look for recipes. I want to explore the world of vegetables more - I'm eating way more vegetables than when I first started this thread and I enjoy them too (they are delicious!).

I've lost weight too, so I'm happier but the Word the Lord gave to me is "let patience have it's perfect work" I just need to do what I know to do and allow the Lord to do the rest, amen :0))
