HEALTH IS A PRECIOUS GIFT
Our health is a precious gift from God. Our diet plays an important role in health. How wise it is for us to seek to do the best we can in what we eat. How important for us to exercise self-discipline and self-control when tempted to eat what we know is not good for us. God gave these truths to us for our benefit. To me it's a privilege to be healthy, to look healthy and to feel healthy spiritually, emotionally, and financially when I'm shopping. Others notice what we say and do as well. When we ignore these truths, we hurt ourselves and, as so often is the case, others are made to suffer, as well.

ARE OTHER PEOPLE MAKING YOUR DIET FAIL?
Diet and weight loss programs are notoriously hard to stick to. For many people starting and successfully completing a diet is one of the toughest things to do. It is also one of the most rewarding.
In this article I want to make you aware of something that can have a huge affect on you losing weight. And believe it or not it's nothing to do with which diet you take or whether or not you exercise. Instead I want to focus on how other people can stop you from losing weight.
You can be made of mentally strong stuff. You might have stuck at a diet and exercise program without a image for weeks. And then, out of the blue, you're invited to a meal with friends or maybe a work lunch. You know you're going to have to eat out and you start to get a little nervous. Sticking to your diet at home is fine because you are in control. You have picked the food in your cupboards and fridge.
Eating out is a whole different story. Your friends, family or work colleagues may be eating the fattiest and most unhealthy meals on the menu and you feel tempted. You're only human after all.
So what can you eat without destroying your diet? You can choose one meal a week that is your favorited food, because you are adjusting to change.
It is very important that people know you are on a diet program. If they know this and you are intent on losing weight they are much less likely to try to encourage you to eat something that will get you off track. So be honest and up front from the start explaining that you are in the process of shedding a few pounds and want to stick to it.
If they are genuine people they will be impressed by your strength and determination. When picking from the menu, it's best to pick something that is made up of mostly salads, vegetables or fruits. It won't taste as nice as the steaks and other feasts but it will allow you to stay on track and eat the healthiest things on the menu.
The problem with eating out is that even if the meals that could usually be quite healthy, like a chicken salad can often be full of fat. Especially if there is a ton of dressing on it. So it's best to order something that has no dressing and preferably no meat. Often restaurants fry the meat for speed and this is what makes the food so tasty but unfortunately also so unhealthy.
Raw vegetables are always a good choice, because they help you burn fat by boosting your metabolism. So any raw vegetable dish without a dressing will keep you sticking to a healthy diet.
Another thing to do is to use control if there is a buffet cart there. It is important that when you lose weight you concentrate on eating regular, small sized meals throughout the day. A buffet cart can easily cause problems because it is so tempting to go back for seconds and then thirds.
Check the amount of food you are going to eat before you take that bite. If you think that the food provided to you exceed the portion control limit you are allowed, eat according to your portion limit and then carry the leftovers back home to be eaten on the next day. Ask for a box from the restaurant for leftovers.
Drink water or pure fruit juice instead of alcohol or fizzy drinks that are packed with calories, because it will make your meal an unhealthy one in regards to your goals.
I need to reiterate the point that it is fine to eat out now and then. However be sure that if this is a regualar occurrence you exercise caution or you could find yourself being more and more impartial to the fatty foods that you have worked so hard to avoid. All it takes is a few meals for you to want to get off your diet and back onto your old program of unhealthy foods and fats.
Stick to your program. Your health and future depend on it. Stay focus and stable.

STAYING ON TRACK FOR LONG TERM WEIGHT LOSS
The idea that you have to change your lifestyle to change your weight is not a new one. It is just common sense that if you are overweight then there is some part of your every day life that needs to be corrected. This could be an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise or a combination of other things.
What many people struggle to realize is that changing your every day lifestyle is not an easy thing to do. Many people start new diet programs more than happy to make changes if it means they'll lose weight. Unfortunately when the going gets a little tougher than they expected they tend to give up very easily.
There is more to weight loss than just diet and exercise. You need to change your lifestyle and be motivated and have the right mindset in order to begin a diet in the first place. It is the most important, and least talked about factor in successful weight loss.
The first step in staying on track for long term weight loss is to realize that you really can do it. The only difference between those who lose weight successfully and those who fail is persistence.
In order to stay motivated and persistent you need to avoid thinking negatively. When you don't see instant results think positively and keep your eyes on the prize. If you constantly focus on why you can't exercise or can't lose weight or stick to a diet you'll end up failing.
Instead focus on small victories at a time. Most people want to lose lots of weight and do it quickly. They have a long term goal in mind but are not sure how they're going to get there. Well by focusing on small challenges at a time you will find you are much more positive. By focusing on the next meal or the next exercise rather than only massive weight loss you'll find yourself being a lot more positive over a consistent period.
Don't criticise yourself if you do make the odd slip up. We're all allowed to make a mistake every now and then. And if you find yourself getting a quick burger at lunch time, don't beat yourself up over it. This will only result in you becoming despondent about your diet. Instead get back on track by working off some of the calories from the slip up with a good exercise.
Make sure that the people you surround yourself with know that you have a weight loss goal. If your friends and family know that you are on a diet program they are much less likely to try and tempt you to fast food restaurants and to places where your plans and goals can go out of the window. Tell them that you want and need their support if you are to reach where you want to be. If you follow these tips there is no reason why you won't be able to lose weight. Remember, that you can achieve whatever you believe in your mind. If you believe you can lose weight you will.

TRUE TEMPERANCE
True temperance, is to dispense entirely with everything hurtful and to use judiciously that which is healthful.
Question! How temperate are you? In what areas do you need to change? Are you suffering from some negative effects from wrong practices?
Some of us do not realize how much our habits of diet have to do with our health, our character, our usefulness in this world, and our eternal destiny.
Our appetite should ever be in subjection to the moral and intellectual powers. Our body should be servant to our mind and not the mind to our body.
REMEMBER! Information is not preventive if we do not act on it.

THE PRIVILEGE OF FOOD AND A DIET
It's a privilege to have food and a diet in a positive way. When we give to much attention to food and our diet it can become very stressful, especially when we have nothing to compare to. We can do ourself a favor in a positive way, by searching out for what's best for us as an individual, because we are all different with different needs, issues, and sizes.
Reading, seeking, searching and finding without doing means nothing if we do not act on it and change. We must train ourself as well as discipline ourself to get the best results possible.
Doing what's right and not what's easy takes courage, determination, and persistence with a positive attitude without excuses.
We can control what we say and do, but not what happens to us.

WHY MOST DIETS WORK AT FIRST AND THEN FAIL
When it comes to starting a new diet most people manage to lose weight for the first few weeks. They rapidly shed some pounds and think they've finally found their ultimate diet. Unfortunately as so many looking to lose weight have found out this is generally a temporary thing.
Within a few weeks of starting a new diet most people will stop losing the weight they initially did. They stand up on the scales and wonder why they're not getting the results they were when the diet program first began. The answer to this question is that, you probably have hit what is called a "weight loss plateau". This usually occurs because your body has become used to the diet program you have begun.
You see with so many of these diets they are created to provide you with an initial hit that shocks your body with something new. Because this is new your body will start burning fat in order to sustain it's usual levels.
While this is great at first within a few weeks your body will have become accustomed to the new diet program. Your body becomes used to the new and (if you have one) new exercise program and is no longer shocked into burning off fat. This is what makes so many people give up diets so very quickly.
So how do you combat this weight loss plateau? Well first stop concentrating solely on counting calories. So many peopole begin a diet and do nothing but count how many calories they consume. They think that if they eat less calories they'll lose weight, which they will at first before the body becomes used to it. Because low calories are being consumed, your metabolic rate has no real reason to increase itself.
Your metabolic rate burns more fat the higher it is. So if it is at a low point because of such low calories consumption it won't burn fat.
In order to burn fat successfully and fight plateaus you need to create a high metabolic rate. The easiest way to do that is to fuel it throughtout the day. You can do this by eating small, regular meals rather than the normal three of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most people gorge themselves at these intervals and that does not do their body any justice.
Focus on eating healthy foods with small healthy snacks as needed. Eating burgers and chips will not do you any justice. Exercising will also help you in your quest for weight loss by raising your metabolic rate.
Forget the pie in the sky diets that say you can lose weight without doing any exercise. They might, and I do mean might, work for a little while, but then you will hit the weight loss plateau and give up or try another diet.
Starting off a little at a time with a brisk walk or enjoyable bike ride a few times a week will make the world of difference to your weight loss goals. Make sure you don't become disheartened by your own weight loss plateau. You now understand why it happens, and how to avoid it!
Train yourself to do your best, without the stress of someone else.

HOW TO EAT YOURSELF THIN
Most diet programs, whether they say it or not, rely on the fact you stop eating so much. As crazy as it sounds the key to losing weight is to actually eat more of the foods that feed your blood cells and strengthens your immune system. In fact many experts are now coming around to the idea that the three meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner should be supplemented with healthy snacks.
In between your ususal three meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner it's ok to add in three small, if needed, healthy snacks breaks. The reason for this is the less hungry you are through the day the less you'll feel the need to reach for a chocolate bar after you haven't eaten for a few hours.
Also, diets that actually restrict how much you eat do more harm than good, because you are effectively starving your body. By doing this you actually end up storing more fat as your body attempts to conserve its energy.
The key here is not how much you eat but what you eat. Obviously eating pizza six times a day is not going to do you any good with regards to your weight loss goals. But by knowing the right foods, you can actually eat more and weigh less. A healthy body can be created in the kitchen. Another misrepresentation when it comes to diet programs is the choices of what you have to eat are often bland and boring. They need not be! As long as you eat healthy foods the odd little snack of your favorite food won't do too much harm.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is skipping meals and gorging themselves to feed their hunger. Sometimes this can't be helped. You may have to work a long day and not have the chance to eat. However this will result in unwanted fat.
Rather than having three large meals a day, break them up into six smaller meals. This will not only give you more energy throughout the day but it will enable your body to process the food in good time and therefore you will be able to burn calories naturally throughout the day.
It is useless following a diet plan that makes you unhappy. Instead focus on eating regularly and having a treat from time to time, with a simple exercise plan, you will soon notice that you actually eat more and lose weight at the same time as increasing your energy levels throughout the day.

FUN CORE METHODS FOR LOSING LOVE HANDLES
A strong set of stomach muscles are one of the best and easiest ways to fight off unwanted belly fat. Often people can be in fairly good shape but have tummy fat that they just can't seem to be able to shift. Thankfully if you're one of these people there is hope on the horizon.
The first thing to do is to avoid things like ab belts that promise to strengthen your core muscles by sending electrical impulses that make your ab muscles tighten.
If you could just sit there on your sofa, drinking beer and eating burgers while your ab belt pulsated the pounds off you the world would be a better place. That is, obviously, a pipe dream that marketing companies play off.
One piece of equipment however that really will help you shed the pounds is called a swiss ball. It's also sometimes called a fit ball or an exercise ball. It was first introduced by back therapists but has since become one of the most popular fitness products in the world. Why? Because it works. The beauty of the exercise ball is that you don't need an expensive gym membership to use one.
The exercise ball will enable you to strengthen those core underlying muscles and provide a barrier against fat. This is not to say a healthy diet program is not needed. The fact of the matter is for the best results you must incorporate a healthy diet with a simple exercise program if you want to lose weight and create the ideal you for you.
One easy and convenient use of the exercise ball comes from just sitting on it. That's right. You can sit down and build muscle. When doing this you use numerous muscles through your core to stabilize yourself from falling off of it. By merely sitting on your exercise ball for thirty minutes a day you will notice a change in your core within a few weeks. Sit and watch tv, read a book, anything you want.
Stretching and relaxation techniques such as yoga and Pilates are another superb core workout. You can buy DVD's on the subjects or even take a local class. These methods are often seen as for "hippies" and new age spiritualists. However many people fail to understand just how good these are for getting into shape.
From a fat loss perspective Pilates and yoga have both one major advantage. They help your body to increase its production of endorphins which counter the effects of stress hormones such as cortisol. Cortisol increases the creation of belly fat.
Many people think that to have a flat stomach you need to work hours in the gym. The truth is that a simple healthy diet, coupled with a simple exercise program such as sitting on an exercise ball or actively getting involved in something like yoga or Pilates can get you the results you want.
Don't look at weight loss as a chore. Go out there and have some fun with it. Not only will it keep you healthy but it may just turn into a fantastic hobby for yourself.

LOVING YOURSELF WITHOUT WEIGHT LOSS
Being overweight is something that many of us suffer from. You are not alone. Whether you are a little bit overweight or obese your body and mind are affected.
While losing weight is something that should be done from a health point of view, often people want to lose weight because it will help their self esteem. The thing that most people do not understand is that your self esteem comes from what you think about yourself, not what others think.
In every day life we are greeted with pictures of stick thin models and gorgeous glamorous actors and actresses. This can make us feel inadequate and unattractive.
In this article I am going to walk you through a simple technique you can use to make yourself feel much more attractive and confident as a person. While it does not take away the fact that being overweight is unhealthy it can help you to feel more comfortable in your body.
I want you to go and stand in front of a mirror. What you are going to do is reprogram your mind to associate your reflection with positive feelings. Very soon you will be able to stand in front of the mirror and feel great rather than feeling down about your appearance.
I want you to think back to a time when you felt really good about yourself. It doesn't have to be about the way you look. It might have been a job you did well, a compliment you received. Anything which gives you that self satisfying glow in your stomach. Close your eyes and think of that moment. Really remember just how proud of yourself you felt. Remember that inner confidence. If it was from a compliment someone paid you remember their sincerity. Feel that glow and move it up from your stomach to your eyes. Feel the glow behind your closed eyes and smile to yourself remembering that moment.
When you start to feel as strongly as possible open your eyes. See yourself as other people would have seen you when you had done that great job or got that great compliment. See yourself with respect and admiration. Keep smiling at yourself and notice the confidence in your eyes. When you really feel great squeeze together your thumb and forefinger. This will create an emotional connection between the way you feel at that moment and your reflection.
I want you to practice this every day for a month. Every single day. It takes a matter of minutes and doesn't cost you a penny. Over a period of time you will start to notice a dramatic change in yourself. You will notice that you have more confidence when you look in the mirror. Your self esteem will grow and very quickly you will not worry about your weight as much as you have done before.
It is very important that you understand that this technique is not to replace your diet program. This is merely a way for you to start to feel better about yourself. As I have said often people want to desperately lose weight because it will make them feel more confident. By using this technique you can become more confident in the way you look within one month. Couple this with a diet program that works and your results will be both visible and internal resulting in a new, improved you.
Feeling down and depressed about yourself can result in comfort eating. This of course, can only end up with you putting on more weight and the vicious cycle continues. Use this technique to develop the right mental toughness and attitude. And use your dieting to get into great shape.

I want you to go and stand in front of a mirror. What you are going to do is reprogram your mind to associate your reflection with positive feelings. Very soon you will be able to stand in front of the mirror and feel great rather than feeling down about your appearance.
I want you to think back to a time when you felt really good about yourself. It doesn't have to be about the way you look. It might have been a job you did well, a compliment you received. Anything which gives you that self satisfying glow in your stomach. Close your eyes and think of that moment. Really remember just how proud of yourself you felt. Remember that inner confidence. If it was from a compliment someone paid you remember their sincerity. Feel that glow and move it up from your stomach to your eyes. Feel the glow behind your closed eyes and smile to yourself remembering that moment.
When you start to feel as strongly as possible open your eyes. See yourself as other people would have seen you when you had done that great job or got that great compliment. See yourself with respect and admiration. Keep smiling at yourself and notice the confidence in your eyes. When you really feel great squeeze together your thumb and forefinger. This will create an emotional connection between the way you feel at that moment and your reflection.
I want you to practice this every day for a month. Every single day. It takes a matter of minutes and doesn't cost you a penny. Over a period of time you will start to notice a dramatic change in yourself. You will notice that you have more confidence when you look in the mirror. Your self esteem will grow and very quickly you will not worry about your weight as much as you have done before.
It is very important that you understand that this technique is not to replace your diet program. This is merely a way for you to start to feel better about yourself. As I have said often people want to desperately lose weight because it will make them feel more confident. By using this technique you can become more confident in the way you look within one month. Couple this with a diet program that works and your results will be both visible and internal resulting in a new, improved you.
Feeling down and depressed about yourself can result in comfort eating. This of course, can only end up with you putting on more weight and the vicious cycle continues. Use this technique to develop the right mental toughness and attitude. And use your dieting to get into great shape.

THE VEGAN TESTIMONY
Being a vegan, for one and a half years after being a vegetarian for 25 years has made a big difference in my relationship to food. No more dairy products. Being a vegan is much more challenging now.
I'm finding more things to cook and create, that are vegan. I have learned to use food as a tool that's diverse and healthy. But to much of a good thing can cause you problems. Like weight gain, if not handled in the moment.
THE VEGAN TESTIMONY!
You can still gain weight, if you don't eat in moderation. My test has been with vegan made biscuits, vegan pancakes, vegan cakes, vegan puddings, non-dairy ice cream, and natural potato chips.
I was using these foods as a comfort tool. Especially when I was under stress. Since I found that I can still eat them in a vegan style of cooking them, I found myself over eating them, and picked up unwanted pounds in my hips and waist. Although I exercise by walking for 1 hour 5 days a week.
I must now do the opposite to regain my comfortable weight and size, and use these comforting tools when I'm not stressed and in moderation from time to time.
The food tools I'm using to regain my comfortable weight and size within a week of daily use as an example are for (Breakfast) fresh fruit, half slice of a large avocado, and a hot cup of avocado spinach green drink.
(Lunch) a medium size raw vegetable salad with a homemade vegan salad dressing, fresh fruit, herbal tea or herbal fruit juice. (Dinner) fresh steamed or stir fry vegetables, steamed brown rice or steamed potato with a homemade vegan sauce, and a tossed green salad with a homemade vegan salad dressing, herbal tea or herbal fruit juice and fresh fruit.
Eating the foods that caused me to gain weight was my conscious choice, because they tasted good and was comforting to me at the moment. I was under stress and didn't focus on the consequence of weight gain. This does not mean I am weak minded, just because I went back to my biological programming that I missed.
The truth of the matter of weight gain or even weight loss is, we are in control of what we eat or don't eat, and how much we eat or don't eat.
THE NEGATIVE SIDE!
food insecurity, lack of appreciation for good food, fear of social change, a wrong relationship with food, unbalance food supply.
THE POSITIVE SIDE!
secure food that brings diverse and healthy thoughts, and acts is what's best for our health and well being.
QUESTION! DO YOU THINK A COMMITMENT TO HEALTHY EATING MEANS ENDURING BLAND AND BORING FOOD?

HOW TO STARVE YOURSELF OF NEGATIVE DIET PATTERNS
The power of the mind has been well known to successful and fulfilled people for centuries. Experts of the sub conscious mind such as hypnotists have come up with ingenious ways that bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the sub conscious. Often hypnosis is used to help people achieve their weight loss goals. In this article I will show you how to do that without any fancy hypnotist or high fees.
The sub conscious mind is the most powerful force in any human being. When you first learned to drive you had to think about every single thing. Gears, mirrors, indicators, steering and many other factors were constantly thought about. After a while though all of these become a habit. You repeat them so many times that your conscious mind no longer has to think about them. Your sub conscious runs you on auto pilot to carry out the maneuver.
So what does this have to do with weight loss? Well by using a concept called "auto suggestion" you can help your sub conscious mind "reprogram" yourself to stick to diets, eat healthier foods, enjoy working out (seriously) and much more.
The reason so many people fail to lose weight is because they program themselves for failure each and every time they try a new diet. Becasue of bad experiences with shoddy diet programs in the past they often tell themselves "This won't work for me" and give up a few weeks in. Think about whenever you've tried to diet in the past. How long did it last?
The technique I am to teach you now will enable you to starve yourself of these negative thought patterns that you are constantly bombarding your sub conscious mind with. Let's retrain yourself to be more positive about your weight loss and in turn develop a mind set that won't give up whenever a diet doesn't show instant and massive results.
Your emotions and thoughts are like signals. Whenever you feel bad about weight loss or dieting and have thoughts such as "I'm always going to be overweight" stop what you're doing and follow these steps.
Step One. think about what it is that makes you feel you'll always be overweight. You'll get an image come into your mind. Maybe it's you feeling down about a diet or you in the future and you haven't lost any weight.
Step Two. Pay attention to this image. This is your unconscious telling you what thought is holding you back in your quest for dieting. This is the image that you consistently put in your sub conscious. You have programmed yourself to think this way and that's why it is so easy to give up on diets when things get a little tough.
Step Three. Drain all the color out of the image. Shrink it and move it out of the way. If it happen to reappear repeat the process.
Step Four. Replace the image with an image of what you really want to be like. Fit, healthy and at your perfect weight. Get emotionally involved with the image. Think of how great it would feel to have lost all the weight you want to. Make it color and bring it closer to you.
Step Five. Hold your thumb and middle fingers together when you feel that rush of excitement about the new future you.
While this may sound a little crazy this is a good technique for programming your sub conscious. If you do this every time you feel a little down about weight loss or have any negative thoughts, soon it will become a habit.
Eventually you will have created "a mind anchor" so that you can press your thumb and middle fingers together and get the rush of excitement about your new, slim self. Any time you feel negative about weight loss you put your fingers together and your sub conscious will recognize this habit and use it to your advantage.
This is based on the science of Neuro Linguisitc Programming, and it works in reprogramming yourself. Give it a go and stick with it.

How To Shed The Pounds While Changing Your Lifestyle
Have you tried a number of diets and failed? Maybe even tried some exercise only to find you lose a little weight but it comes straight back again? There's a reason for that, and it happens to be (STRESS) related.
Stress, is not just a mental reaction but a physical condition. When place under stress your body will produce adrenaline but it also produces a hormone called (Cortisol). This hormone is responsible for pumping energy in the form of sugar into the body to fuel the adrenalin rush. Stress is then a natural bodily function designed to help keep us alive and reactive to things going on in the world.
unfortunately there is a negative by-product if you are not using this energy. Stress in the modern world often takes the form of money worries, issues in the office, family problems and much more. The extra blood sugar that is being released has nowhere to go except settle around your stomach to be used later as fat.
Because of this many people are keeping or gaining weight without even realizing it. Of course there are other factors, but stress is one that very few people talk about. Stress however needs to be controlled and fought against such as an unhealthy diet needs to be. It may be the one thing stopping you from losing the pounds you so desperately want to.
Stress and anxiety is in fact a double edged sword. Not only does it produce the excess blood sugars that turn to fat, but it also encourages you to use food as a comfort tool. You may choose chocolatae or fast food for that instant hit that is the culinary equivalent of a warm hug from a loved one.
Eating these foods that are bad for you when you are stressed does not mean you are weak minded. You are just following your biological programming. Tests on rats have shown that under stress organisms naturally engage in pleasure seeking behavior. In particular high calorie food.
Other tests have shown that men who only manage to get four hours of sleep a night have on average a thirty seven percent higher level of Cortisol (the hormone that is responsible for energy-sugar) than those who get a full eight hours? and what is one of the biggest reasons for lack of sleep? Stress!
On top of that it is imperative that you get a good nights sleep when trying to shed the pounds because a deep sleep leads to higher secretions of a natural occurring hormone called (Human Growth Hormone). This protects your muscle mass and it is muscle that helps to maintain a steady burning metabolism.
Of course if you are already stressed the chances are you are not getting enough sleep already and are caught in a vicious circle that is affecting your weight loss.
Stress is a silent killer. We can overcome it by not neglecting ourself. Getting a good peaceful sleep, can happen if we learn to grow spiritually, exercise, drink plenty of fluids, eat a healthy balance diet, think postive, and move forward.
Learning to accept stress and use it to work in a positive way in our life, will help us accomplish our goals.

IT TAKE ENERGY TO DO ANYTHING
1. Energy: power or capacity to be active. Strength of body or mind to do things or to work. Vigorous action (work with energy). The capacity for performing work.
2. Energize: to put forth energy (act). To impart energy to. To make energetic or vigorous. To apply voltage to (energizer)
3. Energy Level: One of the stable states of constant energy that may be assumed by a physical system (of electrons in atoms)
4. Enervate: to cause to grow less in strength or vigor (weaken).
Our heavenly Father, tells us; we can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us (Philippians 4:13).
LIFE IS ABOUT DECISIONS!
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear (respect & honor our heavenly Father and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man (male & female). For our heavenly Father, shall bring every work into judgment, with every SECRET THING, whether it be GOOD or whether it be EVIL (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is in us. We must glorify our heavenly Father in our body, and in our spirit which is our heavenly Father (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Whether it’s our diet or weight loss the above applies to it all. We must ask ourselves what I am giving time to. What is my mind-set? What am I giving energy to? What’s holding me back? What’s the distraction or distractions I’m dealing with? Goals in life must take place from the inside out; this takes energy, and must be used wisely.
We must be ourselves, define our own way and not allow anyone to define who we are or how we should live.
