107 Pounds Beauty

-


You must be familiar with this Korean movie. "200 Pounds Beauty".
I can’t remember what the story was all about but it was a good movie.

Hearing comments from other people about my weight didn't bother me at all. They were telling me "Oh, ang payat mo na" ~you're now thin~ "Maybe you're stressed that's why you lose weight" etc

I wasn't offended by their comments or what, neither do I get it as a compliment. My response would be,
- I eat a lot but I don't know why I don't get fat
- hmm...it's because of my metabolism
- Really??? I still find myself fat in camera (to which I am always exposed to, teaching my Korean students)
- ahh...it's okay...as long as I don't look super thin

...that's it.

Last week, Friday, my friends and I had an overnight. We had marathon movie but I only finished one movie! ha-ha

When I saw a weighing scale, I hurriedly stepped on it and looked at my weight.

I always do that at my best friend's house way back in high school and even during the times that I'm visiting her. I never failed to check on my weight.

To my surprise, my weight now is 107 lbs!!!!

Am I happy?
No.

I used to be at 120 lbs. CONSISTENT. But that didn't give me a lot of credits or what because I was still at the UNDER WEIGHT category.

I remember when we had a seminar for a business in connection with natural, herbal way to stay healthy and slim. When I had all the measures of my weight, mentioning the body mass, body fat, etc., it turned out that I was in the underweight category having 120 lbs. THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO.

CONFESSION 101
- hmm...maybe it really has something to do with my metabolism but I also have an important part to play about my health


a. I don't eat properly.
What I mean is, because of the nature of my job, I don't have a fix schedule for my dinner time. Sometimes, I just suddenly don't feel being hungry at all.
Okay okay, I know, in the following days, I might meet ULCER.


b. I'm lazy taking vitamins.
I am not that "religious" in taking vitamins. I swear. Like other people who experience the effect, I also feel sleepy taking vitamins.
But, okay okay, I know I should take vitamins regularly. With the nature of my work, STRESS comes in a lot.


c. Bad sleeping habit.
I'm out by 10 in the evening. Will be home before 11. Turn on the television; if I feel like hungry, I would eat just a little. Watch late night news, documentaries. And I would finish around 1 in the morning. If I am in my movie marathon mode, I would sleep as the time my mom wakes up.
Tsk. Bad.


I know I should change that sleeping habit.

Honestly, it’s not easy and comfortable writing these down.

I am a Cinderella committing some SIN-derella drama.

I am aware that the Lord doesn't want me doing things that will make me unhealthy.


And for my readers, I want you to know that God gave us the NIGHT for us to rest, to recharge, to renew for another TOMORROW.


I didn't notice that my non-occasionally habit will result to my 107 lbs beauty.

Yes, I still look beautiful. And you still look beautiful!

God sees us all beautiful even if we commit sins intentionally or not. That's how He shows us His great LOVE FOR US SINNERS.

But, I don't stop from here, having my 107 pound beauty; I will gain more weight in the coming days and will be back in a better shape! AJA!

And most importantly, I must have discipline with the following:


1. eating habit

2. sleeping habit

3. thinking habit

4. working habit

5. sorry, but I can't let go of my coffee habit! :P

WE MUST ALL LIVE OUR LIVES THE WAY GOD WANTS US TO LIVE.

HEALTHY.

PRODUCTIVE.

EXCELLING.

JOYFUL.

HOPEFUL.

ALWAYS INSPIRED BY GOD!

IN LOVE WITH HIM ALWAYS!


GOD BLESS YOU!

Lessons from the Lord’s Prayer

When Jesus taught His disciples the Lord’s Prayer, he was not giving them a prayer to memorize and recite every time they prayed.   He was giving them a model for their own prayers.   As you study the model prayer that Jesus gave, compare it with the prayers you offer to God.   What can you learn from the way Jesus prayed that can help you to be more effective in your own praying? (I am sharing material from my devotional book The Experience Day-by-Day with God by Henry and Richard Blackaby) God bless as you read.... Our Father This is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” -Matthew 6:9            Everyone wants to be loved.   God designed the family to be a source of love and encouragement.   If you have a family that loves you and that is in your corner, you can take on life with confidence.   But what is that is not your experience? What if, to you, family means criticism, anger, and even abuse?   There is another family that longs to love and to

Fast Delivery!

    photo at debragrayelliott.blogspot.com HATE LATE? This slogan of an ad must be familiar to you. You might not be patient to wait for something to fill in your stomach. How about in the concept of PRAYING? Do you pray and always wanting to be answered immediately? or you still pray even if there's no answer yet? They say when you pray, God will only respond in 3 ways: YES, NO, and WAIT. HATE LATE when it comes to prayer? God has never been late in answering our prayers. He wants us to WAIT for He will answer in His own terms, in His beautiful and perfect time. What are you thankful for? "I thank God for His perfect delivery in my prayer!" Let me share you my story... C ouple of weeks ago, I was sending resume to different media companies. I am still employed up to this time, but I still dream that one day, I could work in a media company. As you know, I am an English teacher for Korean students. I am capable of teaching but I am not a licensed tea

Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. -Matthew 19:17 A person who is a good person is an individual of lofty ideals, noble purposes, strong character, reliable conduct and trustworthy integrity. The only one who truly embodies all of those characteristics is Jesus Christ. We come to understand the word goodness as we it alongside the word righteousness. Someone has said that justice is what God gives to us that we deserve. Goodness goes beyond that and is that which God gives us beyond what we deserve. The great characteristic of goodness as it is found in relationship with righteousness is generosity. It is what a person gets that isn’t deserved. It is what God gives to a person that could never be earned. Goodness in its relationship to righteousness teaches us about generosity. You don’t have to be rich to be generous. But what do you do with what you have? We need to take a good long look at our lives and ask God how our attitudes have been to the
