As a stay at home mom with a little sideline ‘job’ at home, my ‘work hours’ are quite irregular. I can only work online whenever my kids are asleep. So, when my kids don’t take their afternoon naps, I don’t get to work much. Sometimes, I do sneak in some time to work online with my kids wide awake but then, there are also tons of  household work waiting for me so, I can’t really concentrate much.

So, while the rest of the world is sleeping, I’m now here in front of my computer doing online work. I really need to change this routine a bit since I know it’s not so good for my health and beauty. With lack of sleep, I might end up getting so much of wrinkles at a very young age and end up searching for a solution on how to get rid of wrinkles.

Anyways, how do I change my irregular work hours? Unless, I hire someone to take care of my 2 kids and only then I can work regularly. But then that’s not an option for me because my priority are my kids and everything else is secondary, even this online work of mine.

My Hubby asked me once why I’m a bit preoccupied with losing weight these days when he never complained about my weight. Yeah, it’s true that my hubby never asked me to diet, take the best fat burners or to be careful with my food intake, he is even the one who instantly buys me whatever are my  food cravings.

So, why I want to lose weight? Well, I think I have come to a point when, if I don’t do anything about it now, I might find myself ballooning to become a 70 kg woman in the next 5 years. It’s no joke! I haven’t been so in control of my health recently and I want to change that.

I want a slimmer and healthier me as I turn 3_ in the next 2 months. I know that losing weight is just one of the many benefits of healthy diet and exercise… added to that is a renewed strength, energy and a good night’s sleep.

Ephesians 6:16
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

When we diet, we need protection. We really do. Dieting puts us in a very vulnerable position. We are weakened, frustrated, irritable, guilty, and a hundred other things that stir us up constantly. We need a shield to guard us from the onslaught of so many difficult emotions and feelings. The Lord provides us with the shield we need through faith. Believing in a God who cares for us and stands beside us is a great comfort and a very real help in our times of need. God will not let us struggle alone. He is our refuge, our shield against the worst our diets can do to us.

Today’s thought: Oh, Lord, please protect me from me!
