Amazing Grace

I went to the mall yesterday and ate there and had 2 treats. Not going to lose any weight doing that! Today it's going a little better but I'm still eating too much? Portion distortion for real! I'm learning though. 

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:  so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul... Proverbs 24: 13,14 first part

Keeping track of what I'm eating has been very revealing. I need to be mindful of how much I'm eating and the calorie density of the food. I was above my target calories again today, but I am not discouraged! Tomorrow is another chance.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord they God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9

I am currently at the highest weight I have ever been. I am 5'7" tall and weigh 265 lbs. I am not even sure how I got this big. It's like I woke up one day like this. I know that isn't really true. Months of poor food choices and lack of exercise led to this. I had a broken foot and was unable to exercise for months. Now I am so out of shape I hardly know where to start. I am being responsible about it. At my age, 51, and weight I think it's prudent to get checked out
