Fit Bit (I used to be able to do this)
Dear Kimberly,
I used to be able
to do this. I was dieting and exercising
and I had lost a lot of weight. Then I
quit. I have gained 90% of my weight
back. I need help. But I just can’t seem to get going. How do I get going again?
Sincerely,
I used to be able to do this
Dear “Used to”,
You can do it! You
already have at least once in your life.
Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
What skills did you have when you were on track, verses now?
List them and post them prominently.
Most likely, you took the time to plan your food choices and
had good quality fresh fruits and vegetables readily available. You also most likely were drinking lots of
water (64 oz. /day is the general recommendation), and set aside time for some
light exercise. If you start
concentrating on these three things alone you will find yourself getting back
on track. Concentrate on what will work,
and let go of the thoughts that will get you in trouble, such as I’m to busy
for this planning stuff, I will just grab some fast food…It won’t matter that
much, I’ll start tomorrow. I can’t do this any way; I’m older now…it’s
harder. Recognize this type of toxic
thinking and STOP IT! Concentrate on
what to do. Let go of your mess-ups and
keep pressing forward toward the mark.
Keep on keeping on, regardless of how many times you try and fail,
eventually you will get it back.
Hebrew 12:1
“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and sin which so easily ensnares us,
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
