All the Christian weight loss programs I know about are based on one thing. Taking your focus off of you and putting it on God.Now, there's a concept!
If you're like most of the world, this whole constant losing weight thing is enough to make you totally nuts. There are so many plans out there, and your weight is up and down and there never seems to be an end to the nightmare.
YUP, I'm right there with you.
How Did I get into this mess?
I've had back problems for about 30 years. The doctors say I have one disk that is torn, and several more that are deteriorated. So it's been a huge struggle to stay active. I've seen my weight go up and down just like so many other people. When my back felt good, then I could work out and my weight stayed manageable. But then something would happen and my back would be in pain for weeks.
Each time my back would flare, it took longer and longer for it to bounce back. Sometimes I'd struggle for weeks and even months.
I finally found something that is helping my back stay manageable so now it's time to deal with all the extra weight that has crept on.
This photo was taken at my son's wedding. Although it was a wonderful day, I would've loved to have worn something that didn't have to hide so much excess stuff.
You know how that goes. One day you look in the mirror and everything that used to be wonderful and small and shapely is now rounder, robuster, and a little more ... abstract. The truth is, we're not fat ... our bodies just lack direction. Of course, for some of us it seems the only direction we're headed is to the drive thru at McDonalds...but I digress.
God has quite a bit to say about this topic. The Bible says our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. They are literally the home where the Holy Spirit resides.
I'm pretty sure God wouldn't be too excited about a church that's all busted up and falling apart, and I'm pretty sure He'd prefer that we take care of the body that houses His Holy Spirit.
A few weeks ago I woke up thinking, "THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!" I looked at my temple and it looked more like I tore it down and put up a pizza hut.
So Let's Get on with it!
OK, so here are
the Christian weight loss programs I like the best.
My ebook, A Change of Heart, has lots of great stuff that applies to weight loss. You move toward what you think about and when you work with God to change how you think, you'll change how you act toward food. The concepts in this ebook are already helping me take off the weight. So check out each of the links and let's see if we can all make some sense out of this whole weight loss issue.
