Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

I can’t believe where I was a year ago and where I am today! God has brought me so far. I am so amazed! I gave blood Wednesday. My iron was awesome, my blood pressure phenomenal and I was 44 pounds down from when I donated 2 months ago. What a difference being healthier has made for me even in my blood donation! I didn’t get a headache afterwards. I felt strong and full of energy the whole day! I didn’t overeat for Thanksgiving and I felt no deprivation. So thankful for this journey! God is so faithful!

I went from losing 18 pounds last week to dropping over another 4 this week. I find it AMAZING- especially with the stress I’ve been under and all the emotional triggers of Samuel’s 4 hour CHKD appointment with the “late effects” clinic. I am shocked how I’ve continued to not eat donuts or birthday cake. I’m not touching soda or sweet tea. Eating this way seems to really have broken my sugar addiction! I’ve been doing this 5 weeks and though at times I wrestle with my desire to emotionally eat- I have not caved once! I’m not a super self control queen- honestly, it’s been Jesus and this program! I’m so incredibly thankful! I’m down a total of 32.6 pounds. The first ten was using CPAP therapy. The other 22.6 is from my nutritional program. So incredibly grateful for the energy I feel! In awe of God at work!
