Day 1 AM

Today is day 1 of my 40 days - 40 carbs - 40 prayers.

Weight: 172 pounds
BFI: 29.6%

This is the beginning of my diet, but it is also a fast.

I will break a diet in a minute. I will cheat and sneak in foods because being thin isn't that important to me. I would like to be thin, and I enjoy wearing small cute clothes, but when it gets tough...I fold.

However, I am not starting a diet this time, I am starting a fast. Whatever happens at the end of the forty days happens. In the mean time I am devoting my body and my spirit to God for the next forty days.

My body is a temple that houses the Holy Spirit. I need to care for it as a testimony of my obedience to the Lord. So for the next 40 days instead of picking up candy, I will drop to my knees and lift up prayer. Instead of reading labels I will lose myself in God's word.

If I lose weight and get healthy, it is all to His Glory.

Praise Jesus!
