Everyone wants a quick fix, the shot, the tea, the starvation method…no one wants to listen to the Holy Spirit; summer’s coming, ain’t nobody got time for that…or do we?
I’ve worked with women in health & fitness for over 9 years, I’ve struggled in my personal journey for 15+ and the ONE thing I keep coming back to is conviction > complacency.
The quick fix is never sustainable, it doesn’t fix the junk in your head. It’s temporary. I’ve tried most of them, I know.
If we truly, I mean TRULY want to release the weight forever you have to do the hard work that most never will. You have to seek the Spirit and HEAL in the inside before you can EVER reap the reward on the outside. But who wants to do that?
Scripture is filled with help here, yet do we actually seek it then obey? It’s really hard some days to eat 2,308 calories but it’s where God has led me, it’s hard to wake up at 4:15 so I have time before the babe wakes up, it’s hard to say ‘no’ to nice cream when I want it. God never promises easy, He promises a way out so we can endure it. He promises to heal us when we let Him, but we don’t let Him, do we?
Quick fixes may work for awhile, but when you get in to the actual hard work of healing unhealthy mindsets, work through triggers and learn about why the 2,000 calorie diet is on every nutrition label; you learn what your body actually NEEDS to function, why starvation is taking you backwards, why you have no energy or focus or strength.
When you seek the Spirit and walk in obedience, it feels better, you heal, your body becomes God’s temple to dwell in, in peace instead of starvation and chaos and what a beautiful place to be.
So to all of you out there doing the actual hard work, keep going; one healthy meal, one workout, one prayer at a time. God sees your willingness to trust Him and listen. His reward is waiting, and not the scale kind but the eternal kind, the kind that pushes us to understand that skinny does NOT = healthy. That true health comes from Him; knowing who you are in Him and that’s a victory the scale will never match.
Keep plugging away! I see you and I’m here for you!
