This is from
what I wrote on Dec. 11th
2011
If you don’t change ……… then nothing
changes. I
have written about this before, so I am writing again about it. I am 50 lbs.
over weight. I have chosen not to do
anything about it! My eating habits are horrible and I have no
discipline in these areas of my life. I
am not complaining, because that will not accomplish anything, it is really
about the first line in this paragraph.
I just need to get off my butt! I
guess it is just not bad enough yet.
If I don’t change………. Then nothing
changes.
That goes for every area of my life.
Scripture says your body is a temple,
1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your
body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within
you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own, 20
You were bought with a price [purchased with preciousness and paid for,
made His own]. So then, honor God and
bring glory to Him in your body. [1] This is my
Goliath! Sometimes I feel this is how my
life is supposed to be. Well that is a
lie strait from the enemy and I refuse to believe that. If I don’t do something then in a couple of
months I will weigh more..
I am here to tell you that I did not
change. I continued to stuff my face,
gorge whatever you want to call it. I
continued to put on the weight 11 more pounds.
ON February 12th 2012 I stepped on the scales and weighed
268lbs. That is the most I have every
weighed in my entire life! Something inside
of me just snapped. I am here to tell
you that today I stepped on the scales and I weigh 217.8 lbs. Thank you Jesus!
What I have
learned is I started to get this hopeless attitude about my weight and I have
found that I can have this attitude about other areas of my life where I
struggle. So once again it is all about
choice. I became overweight because I
like to eat and I would eat even when I was not hungry or continue to eat when
I was full. That was my choice and the
devil didn’t make me do it.
I changed …. Then
I changed1 How did I do it? I stopped eating fast food completely and I
stopped drinking Dr Pepper. I take my
lunch everyday. Even when I am home I lay out what I am going to eat and stick to
it. I stopped eating bread and I drink
over 100 ounces of water everyday. so be encouraged that you to can lose the weight if you need to. It is not a special diet.
It Is Choice!!!
Be blessed
today!
