To blogging that is. I reminded myself today of how healing it is to go on here and let some of my feelings out. What’s odd is my last post was two years ago to the day. My original reason for blogging was to write about me losing weight and gaining God. Hence, the name lesswendy. I still struggle with finding a balance with both of these things. I hope by getting back on here I will gain a healthier relationship with food and replace the love of myself with God.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. ~1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV)

I read this verse a few days ago and like many times I read the Bible certain verses hit me differently at different times in my life. I fill my temple with garbage. It’s no place for a Holy Spirit to dwell. Besides admitting things like currently wearing a size 16/18 snuggly I’m simply not healthy. I love to eat. I’m also an emotional eater. Sad, happy or bored and you’ll find me at the fast food line or sticking my head in the refrigerator.

There’s the weight part and now the God part. I haven’t felt God for quite some time now. The still, quiet voice? Nope, not a word. Lately I’ve been very stubborn and unforgiving of others so it’s not a huge mystery of why I haven’t felt Him. There are other things going on in my life that I hope to share on here too.

My plan is to blog at least twice a week and give an update on what’s going on and try to be as real as possible without embarrassing myself.

You can help me by making comments and giving advice. Even if it’s just pointing out that you are embarrassed for me.
