The Struggle is Real

The Struggle is Real every single day. You will feel tempted to make poor food choices. Somedays you will give in to the temptation. Remember, tomorrow is a new day. Start afresh and keep going. Never Give Up and Never Quit! I've had many unsuccessful days, but I refuse to throw away my many good days for the bad days. Forgive yourself, pat yourself on the back and focus on your weight loss journey.

Yes, you will get tired of not being able to eat whatever you want to eat when you want to eat it. Eating that way is what has gotten you to the point you're at now and that's endeavoring to lose all those excess pounds you've piled on your body over the years. Living a gluttonous lifestyle in any way is a sin against God. When it comes to a gluttonous eating lifestyle, you're literally killing yourself with every excessive bite of food you take. We should eat to live and not live to eat.

Food is not a comforter but a means to provide our body with necessary nutrition to live. Many have made it a comforter, a reward, their best friend, and so much more. The Struggle is Real, but you can overcome your old eating habits and create new eating habits that are healthy for your body. This journey is not easy but well worth it in every way!

I Can See it Now

My weight loss journey has been long and slow. I don't go to the gym. I do my own exercises. Sometimes in life things can become so overwhelming that exercise has to go to the bottom of my list. The work I do 7 days a week, 12 hours a day is very demanding both mentally and physically. It's God that keeps me going. Even when I'm exhausted I know I can never give up and never quit! My weight has come off slowly. The more weight I lose the harder it is to lose. For the longest time, I couldn't even see the weight loss. I still struggle with that everyday. I look in the mirror and I could swear I'm bigger than I was yesterday. I know it sounds ridiculous but the mind can play many tricks on us. I struggle to see how much smaller I am now than when I began this journey. These days I'm thinking about putting myself in maintenance mode and giving myself an emotional break for a week or two. Maintenance mode is no intentional weight loss or weight gain. Just maintai

Bad Company

Bad Company. The Bible even warns us about keeping bad company. 3 3 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 This also applies to your weight loss journey. What you need is support from those around you. You don't want to surround yourself with those who do not respect you or your new life choices. Pay attention to what people do and not necessarily what they say. Actions speak louder than words! We all have people in our lives that make poor choices when it comes to food. So, we have to use wisdom in how we spend our time around these people. I wouldn't plan to go out to a meal with someone who will constantly consume foods that may be my weakness. Those who constantly encourage me to have a cheat day or consume foods that are not healthy, nor are these foods a part of my new diet choices. Some people will be offended by your new lifestyle and food choices. That is not a problem that you need to contend with, let them be. Why chase trouble?

Take Your Time, But Hurry Up!

Take your time, but hurry up! This is a line that someone I knew loved to tell any and everyone! Running a little late? No, problem. Take your time, but hurry up. He'd use this line on every occasion it applied. It would catch people off guard and often after digesting what was said, they would chuckle. He was kidding but not really. It was his humorous way of saying hurry up! It's time to go! When it comes to changing your lifestyle to live healthier, I say, take your time, but hurry up! Time is against us. There is no time to waste, so let your journey begin today. Not everyone who needs to change their diet to a healthy diet is overweight, obese or morbidly obese. But what you eat everyday is unhealthy. You have a diet full of sugar, fried foods, red meats, processed foods and so much more. You don't have a balance of fresh fruits or vegetables. Some of you don't eat fruits or vegetables at all. How could you possibly be healthy? You don't even drink water. You
