okay, so over at HK's, where we have an accountability group for losing weight, they have all lost their minds, and i am being swept along in the insanity! No,it's not about the big wedding...it's the Biggest Loser contest!

i was absolutely determined to stay out of it...i'm having a hard enough time being the "leader" on the accountability thread, since i can't seem to get below...ummm, well, let's just say i have a certain number that just won't break!  So when i got asked about having a Biggest Loser contest, i passed the baton, thanks very much, because i have a weird outlook on it...if i WON'T lose the weight for the LORD, whom after all i am answerable to about my gluttonous nature, then why have a contest and lose it? See, I KNOW why i'm not losing, why i can't break the plateau that i am on...i WON'T stop eating! very simple! I do not want to have to confess that the last 4 pretzels i just ate really shouldn't have been anywhere near my not-hungry mouth...that i eat when bored, instead of going to the Lord and asking for direction. That i have 2 full helpings of dinner without thinking if i really am HUNGRY or just feeding my head. This is a big deal to me and a conflict of interests. I don't want to do something to please men (or women in this case) that i won't do to please God...

now before you all start to comment about how legalistic this all sounds to you, stop. I'm saying that *I* know what *MY* weakness and area of sin is, no one else's, so please, no one take offense in what i am saying here. My sisters over on HK's are not sinning in their fun contest. They are having a ball...and as my sarcastic self, i jokingly started the Rebel Reds, who weren't going to join a team, and now i am the reluctant LEADER of the Rebel Reds! I guess i just have to take my proverbial foot out of my mouth and suck it up for 12 weeks! Which means that i have to get serious with GOD about all this food buisness...i think HE had something to do with this!

so.....

GO REBEL REDS!!!

GO SHRINKING VIOLETS!!!

GO TEAM GREEN!!!

Yep. Body as a temple and all of that pretty shameful what we do to the temple.

On another note, but of the same piece, understanding my gluttonous nature has given me an entirely new outlook on all sin. I am way so more understanding of why people can't just stop, hitting, drinking, cursing, insulting my driving, (no wait that last one just snuck in there.)

It's a long and beautiful journey, let's take baby steps.

Javajennifer the coffee freak, who is way to excited about going to the coffee house tonight.
