Although I no longer do "WeighDown" per se, and I certainly don't agree with her spiritual stance anymore, I thought I'd post this cute little ditty I wrote a few years ago to dust off this cobwebby blog and get a-goin' again.
This is dedicated to all my weight-loss buddies!!! We can DO IT!! Waiting for the Growl It's 6AM, the children wake and jump into my bed I'm sure I must be hungry, But it's only in my head I stumble to the kitchen, pour their breakfast in a bowl - These sugar coated chocolate puffs really sap my self-control! It's breakfast time! I should be able to have some food by now! But I can't succumb to my wants - I'm waiting for the growl At 9:15, I hit the kitchen looking for a treat I see the plaque of Jesus - I should be kneeling at His feet My snack will have to wait although I make one for the kids I wish they made these packages with WeighDown Diet-proof lids! I resist by saying prayers, though I really don't know how! I feel a bit of pride creep in - because I'm waiting for the growl Lunchtime now, the kids swarm in - Surely I can munch! But I'm not the least bit hungry, so I guess I'll skip my lunch I'm feeling really frustrated, I'm getting rather blue I grab a piece of bubble gum Just to have something to chew The kids are having popcorn, it makes me want to howl! But I pass on every kernel - I'm still waiting for the growl Dinnertime, my husband's home I've made a casserole I've persevered, but all this waiting is starting to take it's toll I sit down with my family, a water glass in hand I almost sneak some leftovers But God is in command! I grumble at the family - I'm like a lion on the prowl! But I refuse to give in now I go on waiting for the growl It's bedtime and the lights are out I never did give in This is the hardest thing I've done Oh, why did I begin?? But the Lord has said to put Him first above every other thing So although I didn't take a bite, My heart begins to sing! Tomorrow may be difficult, or perhaps easier somehow, But with prayer and Jesus' faithfulness I'll keep waiting for the growl! © 2000

OK, this is my weight loss blog. I'll try to post here for accountability. There are lots of blog ladies on this journey, I don't have time to link just now. But I will add them to my friends list ASAP!
I'm going to start YESTERDAY (12/27 - exercise: good, water: good, food: BAD) although I know I'll be "bad" on NYE.
TTYL!
Goin' down,
