Making Healthier Choices

I don't think that dieting gets any easier after you have lost weight. However, I do think that you get better at training yourself and knowing that you have to set limits for yourself and do what works best for you. I know that eating sugary, sweet stuff makes me not only want more but it make me CRAVE more sugary, sweet stuff. I have to pretty much stay completely away from that yummy sweet stuff because it is my favorite and because I don't want to start eating that stuff again and find myself not being able to control myself.

It is getting harder now for me to lose. But I have to be happy with the weight I am and how far I have come. I never what to be where I was ever again. And not so much because of how I looked but because of how I felt and how out of control I was with food and how much I let it control me. I was a slave to it! I have a much better relationship with food now and I use food to fuel my body not fill it up with junk because my body is depleted of other things it needs.

I want to only do things to my body that will be pleasing to God. Over stuffing it with food and creating a body that is unhealthy is not pleasing to Him. I had to fight and pray my way through this weight loss journey and I am not perfect. I still have days when I do not do my best. But every day we are given a choice to do what is pleasing to Him. I know he tells me what to do when I simply ask and listen.
