Eating Pretzel M&M's...Yummy

When it comes to weight loss the issue is ......

                 YOU can NOT SEE IMMEDIATE RESULTS OF YOUR  Choice !

So, when you stuff your face with chocolate covered Pretzel M&M's and eat a whole bag of Mindt Milano Cookies..... saying "It's ok.....   I'm just going to treat myself this weekend"

                    Who will you scream at when you step on the scale on Monday Morning?  

 self-indulgence and self-gratification is an ugly thing

 I've always wondered why it's such a tremendous struggle to lose weight
I'm perplexed why having the  knowledge of how to lose weight isn't enough
I'm baffled why it's a daily struggle when we know what to do  and we do not do it

Matthew 26:40-42

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: 

the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

This picture is "my" reminder that when I face a situation, choice, challenge
my  immediate action  WILL RESULT in a consequence
It also reminds me that the "Guide" who instructs me when, if  and how to paddle
needs to be the LORD

Jesus  is  my Guide  (I just forget to listen to him sometimes)

I truly, truly truly believe it's because we are NOT balanced

We fail to address   our SPIRITUAL BEING 

We feed the flesh (treat ourself... indulge ourself.... gratify ourself)

This is part of our Nature.... to satisfy our flesh

I found this picture

 How Perfect..... it's all about how we Think

Hummmm, let me "think" about that

So, if my thoughts were bathed in the word of God (TRUTH) 
then my Actions would reflect my Thoughts
 and turn into HABITS 
which then define my Character 
that leads to my Destiny!

Hummmm,  I think I like that 

Healthy choices, Healthy habits!!!

Then in order to become sucessful at "losing weight" 

I need to SUBMERSE myself in Truthful thinking

Dog gone it... that's what I've been saying in my blogs for 2 years now. 

Weight Loss Failure is because 

we lack FEEDING the SPIRITUAL Being Truth 

Matthew 26:40-42

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: 

the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

"Long term"  Weight Loss Success is when we change our thoughts about "food and exercise"

acknowledging the truth that our flesh is weak

we NEED to draw our strength from God's Truth

The end result of our thoughts 

is  success or failure

the scripture verse that states "watch and pray" is to See temptation of self gratification as a sin (eating a bag of Pretzel M&M's)  and Praying is nothing less than our thinking spiritually with thoughts centered in truth .....

HUMMMMM,  that's a thought! I need to think more about this

Ciao and Salute to YOUR health and wellness
