I still feel lazy today, but I am making my decrees and confessions. Making the right confession is a part of developing the proper mindset needed to make necessary changes.  One of my confessions is: “I am a lean fat-burning machine!”  I got on the scale this morning and I do see a change, down 3 lbs since Sunday.  Yea!  For the past 3 years, I have weighed myself several times a week.  I know that many discourage this practice.  But it works for me and helps me stay on track!  Like in all things, you will have to see what works for you and choose to do that.  One of the reasons I like this challenge is because it is not a diet! I am learning a whole lot of new information.

For years, I could not understand why I was getting bigger and bigger and rarely ate.  I’d get frustrated watching what my husband and others ate because if I ate like they did, I can’t imagine how big I’d be.  Losing weight was difficult. I now know it’s because my body was weight loss resistant (WLR). The main reason is because my hormones, (especially one called Leptin) are out of whack! My body is full of Leptin, my brain is just not hearing it! Since my brain has been desensitized to it, my body was no longer working to burn fat!  BUT I DECREE THOSE DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER BECAUSE….I’M A LEAN FAT BURNING MACHINE!  My hormones are getting back in shape because I’m cutting the grains and the sugar until we get my body back to functioning correctly!  Then, I will add slowly some of the healthier grains back to my diet!
