first week of new diet

I started Michael Thurmond on Monday and have lost 8 lbs. this week.

I am feeling the spirit this morning. It is a feeling of anticipation and joy. I gained ½ lb, so it isn’t about that. Being on a diet and taking that much control of my out-of-control life contributes to the feeling. I get so ‘hungry’ sometimes, but being able to knuckle my way through those moments helps me feel successful and strong. I picture myself in the yoke with my Savior and realize he is why I don’t feel absolutely overwhelmed in this process, and I am why I feel fear, doubt, dread, and hopelessness. The feelings are not strong and overwhelming this morning, and for that I am very grateful.
