DAY 7: 190.6lbs.
Up .8 of a pound?! What is up with that??!! I don't know what the deal is but I was extremely bloated when I went to bed last night and felt legs and ankles swollen a bit this morning before I weighed. So, I have upped my water today and was "regular'"(if you know what I mean:)) Even before discouragement tried to set in, I felt the Lord wanting me to offer this gain up to Him in a sacrifice of praise, with a good attitude-not sulking today. I did this and had some great divine appointments with a few gals which I may not have had if I had let that bad attitude set in. I did good until toward the evening when I got grumpy to my hubby and children. I realized deep inside it was just because I couldn't eat what I wanted to! Ugh! How stupid! The flesh just screams for what it wants and doesn't like to be deprived! All these spiritual lessons I am getting from this whole thing. Lord, give me the grace and strength to PRESS on with a good attitude (heart) and pure thoughts (mind).
Huge wake up call for me that I can't only RELY on this HCG diet to get this weight off-my trust MUST first and foremost be in the Lord because the Word says apart from Him we can do nothing. Nothing means...nothing! So, I resolve to rely on Him for the strength to be totally victorious in this whole HCG journey and in getting rid of any outlet food has been for me. Admittedly, really do want to see results on the scale tomorrow. No cheating today even when I got my kids Chick-fil-A for dinner! Exchanged some great, encouraging texts with Bonnie (Bless God, I love her)!
Anyway, I'm tired-good night...
