It's been a little quiet on this blog.... but, no news is good news.....right? Nothing has changed for me, as far as the scale goes. I know that I could be trying harder than I am, which is disappointing to myself. I'm not having trouble with what I eat, as much as how much of it I'm eating. I'm really working on controlling myself better though.
Sorry, no words of "wisdom" this time around. Just thought I'd better check in and let you know how I'm doing.

I Corinthians 6:19-20
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Hi Pam! I was just hopping over here to say, "where are you?" so I'm glad you posted today. I'm glad everything is okay.
Hi, I've been visiting your blogs for a short while now, and find them interesting. The prior entry on what kind of example we are is something I have thought a lot about. My older brother and sister would be considered morbidly obese, my mother obese, and my younger brother and myself normal weight. We could have the tendency to be overweight, but I think like you stated, we finally took the emphasis off the meal for the occasion, and pay more attention to the occasion! What a difference it makes. My family recently moved to the same state/city as my sister, and right away it was evident on how 'different' we cooked/ate. She actually does not come here to eat if she can help it! Which is such a shame, I do make most everything homemade, I just don't fry food, or put out enough for everyone to get 'stuffed'. My parents recently moved here also, and they lived with me 2 1/2 months till their home was finished. We did fine in the food dept, though my mother said she lost 12 lbs living with me! (I think she finally did not snack all day. She is also diabetic, as my husband is, and I was teaching her how to more properly eat. Her new doctor has asked her to lose even more weight) Every holiday I feel pressure from the rest of the family to make a big deal about the meals, and it is very hard for me to find my comfort area in this, because I don't want to be offensive. They take my eating only a half sandwich as offensive, but I am determined to not get overweight, especially at my age, when it would be so hard to lose (over 50). I was a little heavy after college, so I do know the feeling. My children gave me a new set of dishes a couple years ago, and the plates are smaller in size than my old corelle. This actually helps in putting less on your plate at a serving, and we enjoy that. Making meals more about sharing your lives and less about eating helps. Well I think I have rambled on plenty, I look forward to more readings here.

Pam, this was a wise post! I too and struggling lately with how much I'm eating as opposed to what I'm eating. I guess we have to constantly be aware of how much we consume. Look at you, encouraging others again! I just love ya!
Thanks for checking in. I've not been getting around like I would like to lately. But wanted you to know I'm praying for you and hoping all is well your way. I've not been doing so well my way with my eating either....so don't feel bad.
Love you!!
