Bad Company

Bad Company. The Bible even warns us about keeping bad company. 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 

This also applies to your weight loss journey. What you need is support from those around you. You don't want to surround yourself with those who do not respect you or your new life choices. Pay attention to what people do and not necessarily what they say. Actions speak louder than words! 



We all have people in our lives that make poor choices when it comes to food. So, we have to use wisdom in how we spend our time around these people. I wouldn't plan to go out to a meal with someone who will constantly consume foods that may be my weakness. Those who constantly encourage me to have a cheat day or consume foods that are not healthy, nor are these foods a part of my new diet choices.


Some people will be offended by your new lifestyle and food choices. That is not a problem that you need to contend with, let them be. Why chase trouble? life troubles find us every single day. There is no need to chase or hold on to trouble, let them be. Anyone who cannot support your healthy life changes isn't someone who truly cares about you. Keep moving forward in your weight loss journey and be encouraged. Many of our illnesses are a direct cause of the foods we put into our bodies. Destroying ourselves day by day. 

We are not to destroy our bodies, which are the temples of the Holy Spirit. You're doing something courageous, wonderful, making a change for the good, and that's pleasing to God. He wants the very best for you and being healthy is something I know our God desires for everyone. 

Because God loves us, 6 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 

Therefore, 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:11 

So, let us support one another in this battle against sin. Gluttony is a sin. 

What is gluttony?

Gluttony is the excessive consumption that deprives another being of a life-giving necessity. Gluttons devour more, leaving others with less. It’s immoderation. Beyond consumption, gluttony describes worship of food and deriving excessive pleasure from it.

Don't believe the lie that you just have a big appetite. That's a well taught lie. You're overeating and consuming food in excess of what your body needs. That's why you're 50-100+ lbs. overweight. You are deriving excessive pleasure from food. It's become your joy, comfort and the most important thing to you. Has it become your God? Your number one love? Your best friend? Your everything? Is this not a sin? Is God pleased?

My First Meal of the Day

Hello everyone! I thought I'd share a first meal of the day with you. I usually eat my first meal of the day no earlier than 11 am. It all depends on my schedule and what I have to do that day. I have eaten my first meal some days like yesterday, after 5pm. Yesterday I had one meal and earlier that afternoon I ate a 100 calorie bag of dusted dark chocolate almonds. This meal is from weeks ago. I decided to take a photo of this meal so I could write this post.  This day I ate breakfast for my first meal. This breakfast consists of Egg Beaters and Baby Spinach, if I want to add cheese. I prefer Follow Your Heart Vegan Gouda Cheese Slices. The toast is White Smart Carb bread and it's covered with an half of a Avocado. I consider this a fairly healthy, low calorie and low sodium meal. It's quite tasty as well. I'm not going to put all the numbers in. I just wanted to share a simple meal that I eat sometimes. If I'm home I love to eat at least one salad a day, usually fo...

My 2025 Goal is Onederland

Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last post. So much has happened in my life. There have been so many unexpected occurrences, I find my daily peace, joy and hope in Jesus Christ. I hope all is well with each and every one of you! My main goal this year for my weight loss is to finally leave the 200's. Yes, no more mid to low 200's it's time to make it to Onederland. What is onederland you ask?  Onderland is a term used in the weight loss community to signify reaching a weight below 200 pounds (one hundred pounds). It is a celebratory milestone for individuals who have achieved significant weight loss. The scale is not my friend. I have disliked stepping on the scale my entire weight loss journey. So my first weigh in for this year will probably be the end of June because it is the 6th month of the year. I will step on the scale just to check my progress. I need to see how close to my goal I am. I believe I can meet this goal by December 31, 2025 I will firmly b...

Is My Oatmeal Ready Yet?!

Hello everyone! Is my oatmeal ready yet? My first meal of the day is sometimes Oatmeal. Yep, that's what I said, I like Quakers Quick Oats for breakfast. Sometimes it's breakfast, my first meal can be as late as 11am or Noon. I guess noon would be considered lunch. I basically endeavor to eat only 2 meals a day. If I eat 3, those 3 meals will stay within my daily calorie allowance. My goal when counting calories is to not go over but always stay under or meet that goal.  Oatmeal is great for the body and friendly to my kidneys. I do not use salt in the preparation of my oatmeal. I don't use salt anymore in the preparation of any meal. I don't cook with salt anymore. Sodium is not my friend and I consume as little as possible, staying within or under my 2000mg daily limit. So much food naturally contains sodium, you wouldn't believe how much sodium is a part of the daily diet without manually adding salt to your food. Oatmeal is tasty and it's also filling as wel...
