Admitting I Am Powerless

The first and most important thing that happened THIS time when I started trying to lose weight is that I COMPLETELY gave it to Jesus - completely. It is such a RELIEF to not struggle with this day in and day out. I have had a few times where I was anxious and afraid to be around certain food situations. I gave it back to HIM. He wants me to live an abundant life here on this earth - not be afraid of foods, exercise and change! Trusting Him is the EASIEST thing I've ever done! I don't know why I didn't do it sooner - maybe it's because I'm a control freak!!

Here is some Food for Thought from my first couple of weeks of my devotional Faithfully Fit. These thoughts helped me so much and I hope they help you:

Jesus is the source of my health and healing.

Real change/healing can begin when we are willing to see ourselves as the problem and the love of God as the answer. Until we come to the crisis of faith, we are only dealing with symptoms. We are putting Band-Aids on cancer. We are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Remember the old cartoon, Pogo?  I love this quote.  Pogo: "We have met the enemy and he is us!"

THERE IS TREMEMDOUS JOY IN TRUSTING MY LIFE TO A LOVING GOD!!!!

Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:30
