I've been off track for a loooooooooooooong, looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. I have some good excuses and some bad ones, but I won't start making exuses for myself here. I let myself go, further then I have ever gone off track before and I'm here now trying to get myself on course again!
For the first time in my history of being overweight, I feel really overweight. I feel it. My body hurts, my feet and knees hurt. I actually feel obese, and it's awful! I need to stop this. I need to quit choosing failure and start choosing success.
I'm so consumed by food. I have truly let food become my master, and I am tired of being a slave to my cravings and my weakness.
Romans 14:17 says this :For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
Why do I spend so much time thinking about food?
Why do I crave food when I am hurting, when I'm lonely, when I'm angry?
Because I'm weak, and I'm leaning on myself and not on God. I'm not thinking about what God has planned for me and my body, if I were I wouldn't be gorging myself the way I do, I wouldn't have eaten myself to this unrecognizable version of me. This version doesn't glorify God and the blessed life He's given me, rather it's burdened, it's unhealthy and it lacks joy and energy.
Out with this version and in with a new one! One that can move and play and dance and enjoy all that God has given! I want to play with my kids, I want to be active, I want to dance and swim without hessitation! I want to feel unburdened and healthy.
The time is now!
