Discouraged

I am feeling discouraged this morning. To reach my goal, I need to lose at least a pound and a half for the next several weeks. So far this week I have lost a little over half a pound and I only have 3 more days until weigh in. I should not have weighed myself daily, it doesn't encourage me at all. I really want to be at my goal weight by my birthday, but I am so afraid it isn't going to happen. I am not giving up, but I do feel very sad today. Emotions are difficult. One day I am on the top of the world as far as my weight loss progress is concerned and the next I am in the pit of despair, thinking I am never going to make it. It is a good thing that emotions don't rule me, but my mind and spirit. And focusing my eyes on the Lord during this time is what anchors me to the ground and doesn't let me be blown away and begin a binge that I would regret.

God is so good to care even for our itsy bitsy teeny weeny worries. He is so wonderful!
