I need an accountability person...

Rhoni, if you only tried WW for a month, that is really not long enough....I am not paid by WW's to say this, but they have been proven to be the most effective method of losing weight. Type in the find a meeting and see where there is one close to you. Having an accountability personm, as you mentioned, is a great idea.

Like yourself I have never had issues with my weight, even after having five kids my weight had always remain at 115, but once I hit 40's and Menopause, different story. I have gained twenty extra pounds over the last three years, no matter how much I workout or don't eat this weight won't go away, this is not easy thing for me to acpect. The doctor says it's just the body way of storing extra Estrogen for later on in life as we age...

I am POST-menopausal. Come through it with nothing left but night sweats

Bro. Scott, If I were in love and had my heart set on one man then I would lose the weight - no problem. The truth is that my self-esteem has to come from within and not from what others think of me.

There is a direct link between my self-esteem, as it relates to my productivity, as well as relationships of any kind when I look my best. In 2005 I looked my best and had a handle on my life...I am now adrift and just having faith the anchor will hold.

Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. You and Bro. Strange need to stop trying to find me a husband...I don't wish you guys any ill will...why would you wish me to be saddled with a husband?

I like the saddled word.Want to repeat that????

If you are happy then great.If God decides to send someone your way then
great.A good relationship is worth waiting for.A bad one regardless if you
are occasionally lonely is worth skipping.I think you are a great person
just as you are.

Trouvere,

There was a time that I wanted nothing more than to marry but since 2005 I have shut down emotionally and try to fill up my life with work, friends, and family.

God has known where I am and what I have needed for some time...He knows best. And you are right, I would rather have periods of being lonely than "saddled" with a man I have to take care of, financially support, or deal with his issues.

I am not sure I am a great person but I do have my strengths as well as weaknesses. I don't want a man unless he can cover me and be my strength. I am tired and need a rest.

Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. I need my own personal shrink:sshhh

Rhoni,

Remember, the email I sent you a month or so ago about patience? Don't loose sight of the promises of God! The enemy knows exactly where our weaknesses lie and he will use the same tactics as long as you allow him to be affective.

I love you and I'll be praying for you.

Bro. Scott,

It wasn't an offense so there is nothing to forgive. I do know what upset me so yesterday ...it was from Wednesday night. We had a quest speaker and he made the statement "God doesn't use the qualified, he qualifies the called."

I get so tired o hearing how God can't use me because I am so over-qualified, and not called because...but God spoke through a short story I read in "Chicken Soup for the Christian's Soul". There was a true story in there of a mother who wanted her unborn child to live and travelled to California for someone who would do surgery in-utero. Chances were very slim, and there were complications...but the baby lived and she is a healthy and whole toddler. What caught my attention, the letter the mother wrote to thank the physicians involved: I thank Jesus for the miracle of my daughter's life, but I thank you for being prepared and qualified so that you were there to assist in this miracle.

People just don't think when they constantly put down those with an education. God didn't just use the fishermen, he used the tax collector, and even the educated Pharisee who wrote more than half of the New Testament. God is looking for the willing heart, those qualified AND those he qualifies.

Blessings, Rhoni
