I am not discouraged. I am not giving up. I am moving ahead with this plan to get this flesh under submission to the Spirit of God. I am standing firm and refusing to budge - I will lose this weight. I will get healthy.
Now you may read this and wonder what am I on about. I mean it is not world peace or the cure for cancer that I am speaking about. You know what, you would be right. It isn't that at all. However, for me and maybe that one other person, this is HUGE!
The struggle is real for us and so we have to become a little militant in our declarations in order to move to the next day and gain the victory over our lives. It is life or death for surely you have heard of the many complications that result from being obese?
Breathe. I had to exhale just now to recapture my focus and release my own anxieties. I will not give up. This is more for me than for you. However, I invite you to journey with me. Maybe we could compare notes one day. Maybe you will discover just as I have that you can do all things - eat less, exercise more - through Christ who strengthens you. So today, I am at day umpteen, and I am declaring to myself and to whomever will read that I am Restarting - Again.
Philippians 4:13 New King James Version (NKJV)
13 I can do all things through [a]Christ who strengthens me.
Father I thank you for the many do-overs you have given to me. I thank you that in spite of me veering off course you never leave me. I begin again this journey with YOU. I believe that success is simply me submitting. You care about me and so I know that you want me to live and not die. Father, help me to make life choices as I am committing myself again to the project of Dieting for Life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
