I too am struggling with a few extra pounds, 40 to be exact, so your honest words about your struggles and the direction that God is leading you were especially welcomed.

Wow, that is so neat. Yes, menopause is certainly a detriment to weight loss. I completely understand your dilemma, as I am just a bit older than you at 52. I am leaning hard on God and His help in this hard season of life. The P.O.W.E.R. tool definitely helps to keep me on track, both spiritually and physically. I hope it will be a blessing to you, too! Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

I am almost 49 and have given birth to six children. I never had problems with weightloss before but now pre menopause seems to have completely put a stop to all weightloss.I do exercise but it is disheartening as nothing seems to help. Not even keeping up with my 6 and 4 year olds! I would love to try your plan as it's from the Lord and very different from other diets. I also like to say we Christians need to be grateful for the food God provides. Diets seem to encourage a spirit of ingratitude.

Tool© has been an amazing help to me. Knowing I need to check off those five things each day really provides a sense of accountability, and it is such a great feeling on the rare days I get all five of them checked off. You can do this! God is with you, and you are going to overcome! I am praying for you and trusting Him to help you through.

Which means---do the math---I need to lose 40 pounds. Menopause has brought on all the weight, but I also recognize that I have an unhealthy relationship with food.

God did miraculously help me to give it up almost completely in July of 2007. I only rarely have it now. But, then I eat WAY too many carbs, which turn right to sugar, and that is just as bad. I feel awful about the way I have abused my body through food, but all we can do is just look ahead, sweet friend, and keep pressing toward the mark. Your precious words and friendship and support mean the world to me. It is such a gift from the dear Lord for us to be able to encourage one another along the way. I am SO thankful for your words tonight. May the Lord bless you abundantly.

When I think of the addictions I have seen in my life, I cannot sit and judge because that is me and sugar, especially C A K E!! Or any sweet such as that. If it is in the house I cannot resist, and sugar is wreaking havoc with my body as I believe I have a candida overgrowth. I know what I should do, but I don't.<br /><br />Thank you for the gentle encouragement you share here. My daughter has mentioned Power Sheets to me in the past and asked me to print her one as well. I love the idea of it. <br /><br />You are helping me to see minimalism in a whole new light.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing! You are such a dear blessing to us all!
