First entry - Wow, this has been a journey since July 15, 2006. Yesterday I hit 23.5 pounds lost. I was 248 on July 15 and now I am 224.5. I still weighed the same today but I put another notch in my belt. I have gone from a size 46 in the waist to a size 40.

I am shooting for 198 pounds.

Lesson learned today: With the weight loss program I am on, I get to eat anything and everything that I want to eat. Whoever heard of a weight loss program like that? Here is the key. It is like Christianity in its fullest. If you are in a right relationship with God, then you can have anything that you want. Wow!!! The closer you get to God, then your wants line up with his wants for your life. As you really get to the bare bones of your relationship with God, you realize that you are lining up with God's will. This means that you will get all of your prayers answered with a resounding "yes." Your prayers will be more in line with what God wants for you anyway.

Now, the connection with the weight loss program. I am not as hungry as I used to be. I want to eat less now. I don't want to snack as much as I used to. My wants have changed when it comes to eating. The further I have gone with this program, I have had more energy so my activity level has increased. My main desire now concerning by body is to live healthy.
