yesss finally that stall is over. I'm losing so painfully slowly but it's still losing. The best news is that I feel great, I'm learning every day about what I can and can't eat, how my body tolerates change and when and if I'm hungry or bored, or thirsty. It's struck me how out of touch with my own body I've been. I am obsessing about how much food I need for me. For my body type, how much protein, how much carbohydrate, etc. I'm looking for help with that issue. My sister in law is a nutritionist, and while I don't need help with what to eat, just how much. I have a theory that one reason my stall was so long is that I wasn't eating enough. I've been on a roll, eating properly, exercising, devoting part of every day to health. Best wishes Nancy

He is shaping & preparing you for what He has for you next. There are several biblical clichés that I could site, but I'll stick to the most basic: God is the 'refiner and purifier' of us - he puts us in the fire, to the highest possible point, so he can refine & purify us. (look up metal smithing - this will probably make more sense then. Also, God promised us that the steps of a righteous (not perfect) man (and or woman) are ordered by the Lord. Have faith in that. Each person who comes in our life - we have something to give/teach/share with them, and they have something to give/share/teach each of us. Ijs...
