Ok, I’ll jump on the confession train with some other friends. Note to self: Beth, set yourself up for SUCCESS (not failure). Have a seat and visit with me for a few minutes.

My Daddy went to heaven 5-8-12 and my Mama went right behind him on 6-13-12. I miss them.
Some Bloggy Love
We all have slip ups. You can do it!
Love your honesty. Setting yourself up for success…great advice. I have snickers bars, m&m's, chips….oh girl, I'm a snacker. Plus, I have a close and personal frienship with chocolate!
Loved the peace and stillness, despite the honest confession…It's hard sister Beth…We all fall into this bad habit of eating junks once in a while. I buy more organic and healthier foods, but I still buy some snacks though I try to be on the healthier side [except for that ice cream on sale I told you before :(]….It's only by His grace we can overcome all these temptations…I'm with you…So, I'm praying…help us Lord! Have a good night and get some restful sleep! You've been busy. Enjoy your weekend!
Girl, you are such a precious encourager. Thank you for being honest and sharing your struggle. You know I'm no stranger to your pain. I think you're beautiful! I believe God has lessons to teach us in our struggles with food, amen?
Beth, I bought a bag of chocolate chips the other day, for the sole purpose of making homemade cookies for my grandgirl. I have not been able to get them off my mind, and was just about to go get a handful of them, which would turn in to 2 or 3 handfuls before long, and decided to sit down first to check for new posts. When I saw your title, I came right over, and found just what I needed to stop the thought process of "just a little bit won't hurt me"…yes, it will…it will hurt my emotional health, my spiritual health, and my physical health. I know how easy it is to give in to sugary snacks…I love them…but I also know how wonderful it feels to bend over and touch my toes, to fit into my clothes and have my stomach somewhat flat instead of protruding past my "girls"…it is just a big fat lie that we believe for the moment, only to reap the consequences for days, and perhaps longer, if we don't get a grip. So glad you posted this just when you did. BTW, I visited Dani when I saw a comment she left on your blog,and am joining her with other gals to get some support…this isn't a do it yourself program…we need each other…the gals you were talking to must have needed to hear it too, as so many of us do. Confession does keep us accountable…we sure can't hide those snacks anyway…they always show up somewhere!
God bless you, Beth!

Tomorrow is a fresh start!
God bless you my beautiful, truth sharing friend. I love you.
Thanks sis for confessing your struggle with us. Sometimes we believe if we just confess our sin to the Lord and not share with anyone else, that we will be fine, we can do it! I've discovered that Satan LOVES when I do this. Even though I KNOW I'm forgiven, Satan will nip at my heels. When I say it out loud to others though, it's like the balm of Gilead just washes over me. I have humbled myself to others. Letting them know, 'guess what, I'm messing up right now.'
Oh girl, that pound cake sounds really good,lol.
I can have desserts in the house. I can do well with them for three weeks, than those desserts that I couldn't with, I start to crave.
On Friday not only did I have a double chocolate cook, girl friend, I LATERED it with peanut butter!! First off, I just can't believe how amazing it was, I think I may be able to see them,lol. Second off though, I had to FIGHT fight fight not to have seconds and thirds.
I wasn't hungry. I was just eating.
For me the weight release journey is so much more than weight, it has to do with my heart and soul. Losing 'weight of sin' that has built up around them.
Hope princess had a restfilled night and so did mommy!!
I know exactly what you are talking about, Beth! If those unhealthy foods are in my house, I will eat them. Unfortunately, I will buy them from time to time, fully aware of what will happen. I love sweets, but expecially chocolate!
oh girl,girl, girl, do I feel your pain too!

I love the positive twist on saying setting yourself up for success…I need to take heed!
