Hey Rockdude,

                     I sent a PM to you.

                                Samson.

ingrid:
Greeting,

I pray that you will succeed in your undertaking.

I just feel like I want to give you a word of caution.  The problem with overweight is not a problem of eating too much only.  There is a certain fat percentage that we all have naturally.  Mine is very low, about 4%.  I can, therefore, eat anything I want and will never gain weight (did you ever think about how some people can eat anything and not gain a pound?).

My brother's is about 33%.  He'll gain weight just by looking at food, so to speak.  This is a scientific fact.  Now what disturbs me in today's society is the marking of the "obese", the constant banging on T.V., radio, and just all over media about how "fat" people are responsible for being fat, and what slobs they are, providing zero scientific facts to back it up.  That's not true, at least not all the way, there are many other factors involved here such as genetic. 

This is done by Department of Health, the Nanny state, especially the "righteous" one in our city of New York, and other self-interest groups under the guise of "public health".  A disturbing trend which grows now even globally.  They marked smokers, "obese", and other groups, and this sort of marking is really SOCIAL ENGINEERING, as a result calling milk evil, calling cheese evil, calling meat evil, calling flour evil, calling essentially all foods that God made for our consumption EVIL.  All this truly disturbs me.

So, proceed with education, wisdom, and prayer.  Do not place yourself in prison made by human hands.  I'd rather be in God's prison, anytime.

Love, Ingrid.

Hi,  I will be right in there with you. I have been doing what you are doing. Darren is so right. We need to eat small meals. We need not to skip. It makes your more hungry and messes with the metabolism.

I will pray for you . You already know God will be with you every steip of the way.

If, I skip a meal my sugars go up. I have learned that I need not do that. Stress has the way of making me not want to eat. So that messes my sugars up. I was taking lots of insulin and my diabetic pills. I have been down to just the diabetic pills most days. If, I am stress my diabetes goes up or if ill.

It is a hard battle, but we have God on our side.

In His Love,
Marlene

Wow.. You all are quite encouraging! I just reread everything this morning (here and the e-mails and messages I've received separately), and it really does give me motivation to stick with it today... So thank you!  :)

It's nice to have family!!
