I totally get what some people are saying about how christian or other type of churches pushed them away or because of others that claim to be one faith and judge everyone that they meet....That is what I find so hard there are people that DO want god in their life but because of hyprocrites do not allow it because everyone has also judged them...

for me I am the christian girl in the church with tats and when I did sing in choir I had both eyebrows pierced and NO ONE in  my church judged me, they said come as you are, and I did and ppl accepted me just cause of my faith not because of my drug, gang, tattoo, pierced life... For those that do not belive I understand, do I agree no, But I will not judge you for your believes, for those who say all christian, catholics, etc are hyprocrites again I say I understand but I do not judge you for that either cause there are many who are...We all have to find what we belive in life and go by that and can not judge others because they do not belive what we do...My aunt was a lesibian all her life untill she passed, one of my best friends is now in a gay relationship, DO I JUDGE them no, its not my job to judge them cause lord knows I have my faults, as the bible says

Matthew 7:1-5 ESV / 16 helpful votes “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

I am not this huge bible pushing, christian, I have my faith, and I have my belives and I work on making "ME" a better person everyday..But I still have a LONG way to go...

To answer what has happend because of my faith?

A few and I understand that people who believe differently will find there own reason why it may not be god, BUT I KNOW it was..

I started attending this church in south fla regularly I was in a singles class, sang in choir, and went Sunday am as well (I grew up very much into drugs and gangs and some other things we just wont go into) so I was not raised in the church (except when I was VERY young) so anyway to make a long story short I NEVER told my pastor how much I struggled at the time a single mother of I think 3 and one day he walks up to me and says Erica, how are you?  Do you have enough to pay ur bills? Food, etc? My pride said yes were doing ok…when in reality I had barley enough gas to go to work in the AM, very little food in my house and my older son was going on a field trip that week and needed money…But never the less I said were doing ok, he said well god put you on my heart and I just wanted to make sure you were ok..2 nights later I was leaving church, he walked me out an said here it’s a letter on encouragement, I took the folded paper and thought nothing of it, I opened it right before I got into my car and it was 180.00 cash, I just started cryin because I knew god told him we were in need and despite my pride helped anyway…And that type of things have happened a number of times…I have a few more but I’m off work…lol

Being an Italian I was raised as a catholic went to a catholic church etc...As I grew older an ventured on my own I started to follow more baptist/Christian churches my family thought it was soooo wrong to be italian and not catholic when my grandfather was passing I had my christian pastor come in and say prayers with him, and my dad and uncle were upset, but neither of them had faith so I did not care as long as I knew that my grandfather was saved before he left me...

I have my faith in what I beleive because of what I have seen, the many times I have seen god help me, and things that have happened because of my faith....

I do not know if this will help but my son has the same issue he does not really eat on his ADHD meds, and the dr. suggested to make sure in the AM either before the pill or right after he takes it to eat something with alot of protein like a sausage, egg and cheese sandwhich, etc and there are healthy ones with turkey sausage, light cheese and eggwhites there in the freezer section (and actrally really good) the main thing she said was getting protein in the AM before the meds REALLy kick in....Hope that helped

I had my friend email me pix from my son & Daughters bday party that was AUG 9th, and when I look in the mirror and take personal pix of myself on the camera phone, I know I am big But never see myself as big as I REALLY am I guess, My friend had a pix of me (I POSTED IN MY PROFILE) and I was like in shock, like that is me, are you joking???? It really made me sad and I am like i HAVE to get this weight off, This is not what I want to look like, Nor is it good for my health, I already have times where I am short of breath, and I know just droppin even 50lbs will fix that. I have tried this so many times, I TRULY want to do this and lose weight, **** I NEED TO!!! I mean if you look at the other pix in my profile of my full body I was only like 9lbs differant from now and I do not look that big in those, i dunno!!!!

I want to join I will be 31 on the 24th, Im a single mom of four and weigh 299 as of yesterday and started over a year ago (with much slacking in between) at 318 Right now I am trying only watching my fat and keeping them at 20 grams a day, my mom has lost 100lbs more then once doing this and she lost it in 10-12 months so I figure I will keep track like that and in a few months when i drop (hopefully) 30-40lbs I will focus more on calories and overall nutrition.....I added my food in today and actrally calor, fat, etc wise it was good the sodium was wayyyy to high so I know to watch my sodium but my meal plan seems good
