My challenge with Weight
Weight is one subject that everyone has a story for, and many are the same. We all have the same struggle with the scales... they never lie. But one thing I've learned: It's actually not the number itself that is the issue, it's how we FEEL mentally, spiritually, and physically. I have been a size 6 and a size 24, that's a broad range there... I would love to get back to that size 6 but I'm feeling pretty good at this stage (ok, ok, size 10, almost into an 8). I have energy and look forward to exercising. I have never felt this way, not even when I was a 6. I remember when I was smaller all I did was stress over gaining weight. After a while that stress helped me gain the weight (that and the 3 kids I had)... I am an emotional eater. When I am bored, I eat, when I am happy, I eat, when I am sad, I eat... you get the point? What I have to do is learn how to engage in other things during those times. Any suggestions? :0)
I do try to use prayer as a distraction. ( I hope that didn't sound awful). I read in a bible study once that "if the very downfall of humanity was caused when Eve surrendered to a temptation to eat something she wasn't supposed to eat, I do think our struggles with food are important to God." (thank you Lisa Terkeurst, Made to Crave.) Another excerpt from her book says and I agree: "Honestly, I am made for more than a vicious cycle of eating, gaining, stressing, ... eating, gaining, stressing. I am made to rise up, do battle with my issues and, using the Lord's strength in me, defeat them - spiritually, physically, and mentally - to the glory of God". Yep, that's what I'm doing, battling those issues... my mantra, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming"... right Nemo?

An extensive questionnaire generated responses from more than 200 U.S. Herbalife Independent Distributors about their weight-loss programs and results. They reported weight loss ranging from 4 pounds to 167 pounds and a reduced body mass index (BMI) of 1.5 points to 24.1 points, suggesting that consumption of Herbalife® products is associated with weight loss and improvement in BMI in those ranges.
