I do this all. the. time. With everything. Checkbook says 11.89? I like 12.00 better. Scale says 1something9.4? I like 1something9 better. Steps say 11,976? MUST WALK ANOTHER 24 STEPS!<br /><br />I heart you Becca Jo.

It is encouraging to me what you said about being more concerned with obedience to God and what I do with my life! If I am obedient to Him, the weight loss will take care of itself and I won't have the burden of failure when the numbers don't say what I want them to say! Thanks for your encouragement!<br /><br />Robin N.

This study has been such a blessing and a definite challenge, but a good challenge. I really enjoyed your post. Praying for you as you continue on this journey towards craving God! <br /><br />PS: A good book to read about worry is; A Confident Heart by Renee Swope. Learned so much from that book as I am a HUGE worrier! Hope it helps you as much as it helped me. :)<br /><br />Blessings and love, sweet sister!!<br /><br />Raelene Osborn - Group 30 OBSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-51578075770978317932014-02-06T11:17:47.423-05:002014-02-06T11:17:47.423-05:00I love everything about this post!!

I cannot even tell you how many times I was agreeing with what you wrote.<br />I am a numbers girl too - I weigh myself every week too, count my calories, check my steps, know how far my miles are when I'm walking...it's part of who I am as well (and yes, I am an accountant too). <br />These chapters have really touched a nerve with me as well - I still see the value in numbers as well but I don't have to let it define me!<br />I also put a quote from Lysa on my scale this week - Define your week by obedience, not by a number on the scale. This reminds me every single time I weigh - that number is no the most important thing!<br />Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111990413126328552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-43625258990404028712014-02-06T10:05:21.813-05:002014-02-06T10:05:21.813-05:00I am not a numbers girl.

I have learned to use math when needed, balancing check book, etc. but not really a numbers girl at all, EXCEPT when it comes to my weight, and that number on the scale can send me soaring or make me wanna cry all day. It is ridiculous really. <br /><br />My true worth is found in Christ alone. I'm getting that.....slowly and painfully some days, but it is coming, and I am thankful.<br /><br />Love you dear friend ~~ dawnpetriihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182334765277246752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-71533707960647335572014-02-06T09:30:08.985-05:002014-02-06T09:30:08.985-05:00I need to stay away from the scale too!

If I focus on how if feel or how my clothes fit..I stay on course... the numbers always ruin it for me.. I can so relate.. I too, want to learn obedience... I know God wants us to be healthy and happy...not focus on a number...So, I am focusing on the small steps... skin looks better, I have more energy, clothes fit better...I needed this today.. Thanks!
