I'm at home, where I've been since about 5:45 this evening. I was very hungry when I got home so I warmed up some white chicken chili that I made yesterday. I ate a cup full, along with some toasted garlic pita bread. It's only been a little over an hour since I ate, and already I'm having thoughts of eating more. I DON'T WANT ANYMORE! I am quite satisfied thank you very much.
See, this is what I don't understand. Why, if my body isn't calling for any food, does my mind say, eat. I'm not bored, stressed, upset or depressed. I've been busy since I walked through the door, yet, these thoughts chant, eat some more, eat some more.
I can't control what thoughts pop into my head, but I can control how long they stay. My pastor always says, that "not every thought you have belongs to you." And that's essentially because our minds lie to us. So if that's the case, and this thought doesn't belong to me in the first place, then it's gotta go. I can exchange it for something more life-giving. I can exchange it for the Word of God. And I can change it now!
Heck, even writing has helped remove the thought of wanting to eat. I guess this blog is fulfilling it's purpose.

Changing the way I think, so I can change my life.
Hello and Welcome!
There are a lot of things going on in my head at the moment, one of which is - I need to change the way I think if I'm going to lose this extra weight. I've learned over the years that changing the way you think can change your life. And I'm ready for a change. A couple of years ago I lost weight but managed to gain it all back. This time, I know that if I'm going to lose the weight permanently I need God's help. I mean really need God's help, so I will allow the Word of God to change the way I think about food and eating. I will share with you my thoughts as I make this journey to permanent weight loss. Feel free to come along on this journey with me.
