It sounds so dramatic.
But it is.
Denial is not a river in Egypt.
Ive mentioned in my previous blogpost how being over weight has kept me from being happy.
Ive learned that Eating in its proper context isnt the problem- God gave us food for nourishment, strength and even celebration, but when pleasure becomes unrestrained theres a problem.
Ive come to realise that there are a lot of women who are sensitive to issues on weight- and that one has to be sensitive when attempting to talk about weight, because fact of the matter is, i do have friends who struggle with obesity.
That is the precise reason why i am putting myself out there. To show that i Know the struggle. Ive been there. But with prayer, consistency, and endurance ive beaten this thing.
And guess what- from next year April ill be able to assist you with doing the same. Ive prayed about this so much and thats the route im taking my Psychology experience. Ill be able to help you with good nutrition, life coaching and personal training in the comfort of your own home. In privacy.
Eph 1: 18 says " i pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you know the hope to which God has called you.."
Lysa Terkeurst writes in her book "Made to Crave" ,that we were made for more! More than this failure, more than this cycle...more than being ruled by our taste buds, body image, rationalizations ( Ill start Monday....if no one wants to date me because im fat then its not the right man for me any way)..and guilt. We were made for Victory. Sometimes we just have to find our way to the truth.
She goes on to say that God made us capable of craving so we would have an unquenchable desire for Him and Him alone. Nothing changes UNTIL WE MAKE THE CHOICE TO REDIRECT OUR MISGUIDED CRAVING TO THE ONLY ONE CAPABLE OF SATISFYING THEM.
Ive prayed a lot. And ive failed a lot. And i most definately have not been starving myself. Ive had excellent guidance and substitute snacks and meals.
Just begin by making the choice of Wanting to change. And Why.
