Many people who have lost weight have put it back on… many times. I haven’t put all my weight back on and I have days of some success but it is a daily struggle. To any out there so inclined would you please pray that I would make use of the strength God has promised. He says He will not tempt me beyond what I can bear. He says He will always give a way out of a tempting situation. He says I can do all things through Christ.
It seems like that should be enough.
Till next time… Hopefully not so long.
Larry, I pray you may find the happiness and enjoyment that is missing. I only say that from reading about your daily struggle. I too struggle. Weight, work, wife, kids, procrastination, other stuff. I pray I am able to hear the message God is loudly wanting me to learn. I do believe that all things work for our greater good, its just difficult to really know this when you’re all the way in it. I came online this morning to commit to losing 10 pounds this month, then I read about your 100. Wow. Very inspiring. I hope and pray that you are able to get to maintenance weight and stay there. God wants us to be the best we can right? However in His wisdom, allows us to experience trials–perhaps so we can be an example to others how living in His glory can strengthen us to overcome. Also to teach us something of humility (speaking for myself). So I commit to shedding 10 pounds this October. And I pray you find the resources sent from above that will assist you in your daily struggle. God Bless.
