I love knowing that God’s love, grace and mercy is there whenever I fail Him. Just by not spending time with Him, or not spending time in His Word, or truly not seeking Him. God has always been here for me no matter what happens. I absolutely love that about my Savior. As a christian I fail Him all the time. If I wake up and not truly acknowledge Him and his beauty all around me. By not thanking Him when I first wake up for another day here on earth with my Family and Friends. It seems like I am always failing, but God’s mercy and grace accepts me for who I am. Because by no means I am no way perfect. Its funny how others are right there to judge you when you mess up your walk with the Lord. But, my Jesus has always been there for me and He knows I am no way perfect or even near being perfect. One thing I have to do when I fall off with my walk with my Lord is get back up and go again. I can never give up,never quit this race I have started with my Lord Jesus. Thank You Jesus for your grace and mercy. 
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
So you are wondering where sugar comes in at?? Well, today I messed up, I failed my project that I started. No, I did not eat sugar like you are thinking…doughnuts, soda, candy, etc… But, I did eat Chinese food…lots of carbs which turns into sugar. UGH!!! Well, guess what?? I can not quit because I made the mistake of eating something that I wanted. I can not quit running this race that I started. Look at what I accomplished, more energy, just feels good, etc… So, am I going to beat myself down about it and start judging myself because I failed at this journey that I began a week and half ago. NO!!! I will not. I will continue running this race. And guess what, if I fail again I will get right back up and get back on the track again.
you are doing so good. this is great to hear that you are “moving on.” And, having chinese food once a month (any nutritionist will tell you) – is not bad for you. I also think it’s great that you are learning about all this stuff. A year ago, Denise would not have even thought twice about what Chinese food does to her body. You are creating a new life of balance and “moderation” – living in moderation is a realistic goal. Eating chinese food every day is not “moderate.” Most people set for themselves strict eating rules – which may work for them, but how many people out there set up rules only to break them after 10 days, and never even try to start over.
keep it up!
Thank you for the encouragement. It is true a year ago, I would have ate it, and not have thought anything about it. Yea, I have to try a little bit harder, because I am not losing fast enough like I want to. So, I am pushing myself a little bit harder. I have been reading a little hear and there, and different nutritionist say to have a cheat day. Not go crazy, but it is something to look forward to, you know. So, I have been thinking about that. Like every 10 days are so, not eating like sugary things but have a slice of pizza or something. Because I went cold turkey and it is really getting tough. But, I dont crave sugar like I use to, like doughnuts, and wanting a coke or something. I have not even thought about it, so that is one good thing…:)
