That’s The Last You’ll See Of Me
That’s it. I’m mad at myself now and that usually motivates me. I’m tired of being fat. I lost 30 pounds a few years ago and have kept most of it off but I’m tired of being overweight. So here is my public statement that I’m going to do something about it. O.K ….it’s not very public because I think there’s only three people that actually read my blog, but you get the idea. If I say it here I’m really just being honest with myself.
I suddenly realized that food feels a lot like nicotine used to feel. I got over my smoking addiction through the power of prayer so that’s the tack I’m going to take now. I’m going to sit around and pray and the weight will fall off. Just kidding …I guess I’ll have to make some effort won’t I?
I now announce that I am on my new eating plan (which is primarily Weight Watchers) until the first digit of my weight starts with a one. I’ll evaluate after that. I’m not kidding here, mark my words, I’m doin’ it.
Seriously now, please pray for me everyday as I apparently am more addicted to food than I thought. I vow to eat right and exercise at least three times a week. Your prayes are appreciated.
This is the last you’ll see of me in my current state. From now on you’ll see less of me everytime we bump in to each other.
“I vow to eat right and exercise at least three times a week.”
Hey, I’ll vow to eat right at least 3 times a week, too, Martin! Har har….really, I’m in the same boat as you, bud, but more to go, I think. I will “put the good thought on it,” as my best friend’s mom used to say, in your behalf.

I am compelled to put up a tip on Allen Carrs Easyway to loose weight (http://www.allencarrseasyway.com). I thought the book on how to quit smoking was a revelation, so the one about loosing weight may be a good pointer. Your vow and a prayer may be just as good though. What do I know. Good luck!

Hey, bud - I’m ready to re-start our prayer partnership. I just came from the doctor and I’m (thankfully) very healthy!
But I am so tired of this weight. Let me know!

Maybe the info I sent you on fasting is just what we should be paying attention to. I may not have as much weight to lose as you do, but I’ve been worrying over 5 poinds all winter. You’d think losing 5 poinds would be easy, but it’s just too easy to start working on it tomorrow, not today. Anyway, I thought I might try the one day fast and prayer to jump start my victory over addiction to a little too much food. Isn’t that what Dana defined yesterday as “iniquity”, taking a good thing too far? When I read Gray’s notes on fasting, how it provides a double benefit, it sounds like exactly what I need.
