I cleaned out my old jean drawer last week (see the stack below). The good Lord has helped me lose 11 pounds (4 inches) over the past 4 weeks. I have been losing weight, and here’s my secret: no more sweet tea (just water), no more snacking after supper, and eating only when I am hungry. I have 2 pairs of 38-inch jeans and 4 pairs of 36-inch jeans that are going to Good Will. Now I am in 34-inch jeans and grateful to the good Lord for the new self-control. And as I have gained self-control over my eating habits, it has given me self-control over other areas of my life … the trickle-down effect. Galatians 5:22&23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (self-control): against such there is no law.” Thank you, Lord, for your goodness every day, is my prayer.
