I wanna tag off yesterday's blog. The Bible says that we should no grow weary in well doing for in season we WILL REAP a harvest if we don't give up. (Gal 6:9) I think most of us have experienced such devastation and failure in our past journey to health that we give up so easily. I talked with several yesterday who were discouraged that they had gained .7 or didn't loose as much as last week. That discouragement causes us to LOOK in the wrong direction! Praise God we're not where we were and Praise God that we know a healthy life style of lean proteins, fruits, veggies, and pure water is LIVABLE. Yes it is!
When the scale doesn't confirm that we didn't cheat (now if you cheated, even a couple of bites, the scale serves as a reminder) then we must not give up. The truth about our health is not dictated by JUST the scale. What are your clothes saying, your lab work, your skin, your sleep patterns? Our weight is ONE indicator - and NEEDS to fall into it's normal range - but it's not the ONLY indicator. Don't give up! Don't grow weary of doing what is right (eating on plan) and you WILL reap a harvest. When people pronounce, "I've tried everything, every eating plan and my body just holds weight." Stop it - I said that. I was obese because I ate all day long, ate too much, hid food and ate behind the backs of my family, ate in the night, ate two big plates and said, "I have a healthy appetite." I wasn't obese because I DIDN'T eat - I did and made excuses for it.
I got tired - I had tried and failed so many times, I gave up. To all our family this morning battling discouragement - don't give up! And don't let the scale be the tormenter. YES....weigh every day. But step off that scale, eat whole foods, and praise God for your health! Don't grow weary of eating healthy and you will reap a harvest. Grow weary, give in to the depression, cheat on the plan, and reap a harvest too. Something to think about. Yes?
Much love today!
Choose life and eat to live,
PK
