Welcome Shani. Wow that is amazing!!! I would love to hear more about your story as well.
BTW, one of my new favorite Bible verse is, " Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us." (Isa.26:12) It's nice to hear you giving Him the credit.

OK ALL HERE IT IS:
I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH MY WEIGHT FOR MANY YEARS.
I HAVE LOST NEARLY 100 2 TIMES BEFORE, AND BOTH TIMES I GOT THAT UMPH DEFINITELY FROM THE LORD!
THE 1ST TIME I WENT UP FOR PRAYER FOR EXTREME HEAT ALL OVER ME. DIDN'T FEEL WELL.
THE PASTOR PRAYED FOR ME AND WITH THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, TOLD ME TO GO GET MY BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKED.
I DID, AND FOUND OUT I ALSO HAD THYROID PROBLEMS. PRAISE THE LORD, MY B.P. WAS EXTREMLY HIGH ALSO, I AM SO GLAD I WENT.
WELL I STILL DIDN'T WANT TO GO ON A DIET, ARGH, BUT THE DOCTOR PUT ME ON BP AND THROID PILLS.
I STILL DIDN'T GO ON A DIET, ATE ALL I WANTED, AND PROCEEDED TO LOSE 50 LBS! THAT MADE ME WANT TO KEEP GOING, AND I LOST 40 MORE!
ALAS, I FINALLY WENT OFF IT AND GAINED IT ALL BACK PLUS MORE! (YOU KNOW HOW THAT YOYO IS)
THE NEXT TIME WAS A FEW YEARS LATER AND I HAD PRAYED MANY TIMES FOR THE LORD TO DO IT AGAIN, NO ANSWER. FINALLY THERE IT WAS OUT OF NOWHERE! GREAT STRENGTH TO DO IT AGAIN! THIS TIME I LOST 95 LBS. NO SWEAT AT ALL.
ALAS! AGAIN I GAINED IT ALL BACK, PLUS MORE! GETTING THE PICTURE HERE? I KEPT HITTING A STONE WALL.
WELL, MORE YEARS LATER, AFTER MUCH PRAYING BY MYSELF, BUT TO PROUD TO ASK ANYONE ELSE TO PRAY FOR ME.......
BY THIS TIME I HAD GAINED SO MUCH WEIGHT NOW AT 402 LBS! THAT I COULD HARDLY BREATHE. I KEPT TELLING THE LORD, LORD, I AM GONNA DIE HERE, IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME THAT SPECIAL OOMPH AGAIN, IF I AM GONNA DO THIS IT HAS TO BE YOU, LORD. I CAN'T DO IT.
WELL WE WERE HAVING A GUEST SPEAKER AT MY CHURCH (I AM A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN
) NO SPECIAL THING, WE HAVE THEM EVERY 3 MONTHS, AND I WENT, (NOW THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME, I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS IT HAS, BUT NEVER ME. THIS TIME WHEN I GOT TO CHURCH, I WAS SO CONCERNED, THAT I ASKED THE PEOPLE IN BACK OF ME TO PLS KEEP ME IN PRAYER FOR MY WEIGHT, AS IT WAS GETTING REALLY BAD. (DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MY PRIDE, HMMM LOL)
WELL, GETTING BACK TO WHAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME, I FELT ALL OF A SUDDEN SITTING THERE WAITING FOR CHURCH TO BEGIN, THAT GOD WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME THAT NIGHT.
( NOW I HAVE A BAD BACK FROM A CAR ACCIDENT IN 1984, AND BAD KNEES CAUSE OF MY WEIGHT)
AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO BUT KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS GONNA HAPPEN THAT NIGHT.
WELL, NOTHING GREAT ABOUT THE PREACHING, NOTHING GREAT AFTER GOING UP FOR PRAYER, AFTER I RETURNED TO MY SEAT, I FELT THAT GOD INDEED DID SOMETHING! BUT... I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT!
I FELT ALL AROUND HOPING IT WAS MY HEALING, BUT NO, NOTHING WAS DIFFERENT. I STILL FELT SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED, AND TOLD MY HUBBY SO.
WELL WE WENT HOME, WITH NOTHING EVIDENT HAPPENING.
THE NEXT AFTERNOON MY HUBBY AND I WERE IN THE BATHTUB TOGETHER, AS WE OFTEN DO, AND WE WERE CHATTING, ABOUT NOTHING IN PARTICULAR, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE THOUGHT CAME IN MY HEAD AND CAME OUT MY MOUTH, BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I WAS SAYING,
I SAID, DAVID, WE ARE GONNA START TOMORROW, HAVE TO GO SHOPPING TONIGHT, FOR THE FOOD, AND WE WILL EAT VEGGIES AND WW BREAD FOR LUNCH, AND FOR SUPPER WE WILL HAVE A BIG SALAD AND A LEAN CUISINE OR A SMART ONE, I HAVE TO KEEP AT AROUND 1200 CAL A DAY.
WOW, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM! I HAD HAD THE OOMPHS BEFORE BUT NEVER LIKE THAT!
LET ME TELL YOU THAT WE WENT THAT NIGHT, STARTED THE NEXT DAY. I LOST 130 LBS IN A YEAR. HAVE BEEN LEARNING TO MAINTAIN, AND AM GETTING READY TO LOSE THE LAST 130 LBS NOW!
GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BY THE WAY I HAVE BEEN ON THIS WAY OF EATING WITH SCHEDULED TIME OFF WHILE ON VACATIONS, AND HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE GETTING RIGHT BACK ON AFTER VACATION.
I HAVE ALSO TAKEN INDIVIDUAL DAYS OFF FOR EVENTS, AND HAD NO TROUBLE GETTING RIGHT BACK ON!
THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME! PRAISE THE LORD!
IT WILL BE 2 YEARS SINCE THE BEGINNING ON APRIL 17, THIS YEAR!
