What I do and what I dont

Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

   I thought id make a post about what I do and what I dont eat. I guess youd have to realize by now I am a Christian. So he’s the basis for everything I do. Basically, my diet is based on Genesis 1:29-30

 29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

   I believe if its natural it comes out of the ground you can’t go wrong. God didnt process his foods- there werent machines to create our sustenance in the garden of Eden. I eat fruits, veggies, olive oil, nuts, seeds, whole grains and for vitamin purposes dairy. But I dont eat any cow, pig, fish- animal, butter, refined sugar, white flour, this is all stuff I cut out of my diet. Its a struggle- but I feel it will make me healthier. The way he intended me to be.

Still doing it!!!

    Ok so I figure its been almost a month and I havent given up! Which is the first time in a long time. So I am really proud of that fact. But- I know without God I wouldnt have been able to do any of this- this definitely is not my strength. I am so weak! Im almost proud of it. Just like Paul said he glories in his weakness because only than is God strength visible. Thats exactly how I feel inside and it really humbles me.  Yes, this is a weight loss blog. In entirety its a Christian weight loss blog. Without Christ I wouldnt be doing this right now. Hes my reason. 

     God has given me a beautiful lesson this last week. It was a difficult one but nonetheless precious. Through someone elses’ words I realized my foundation for this weight loss was off kilter. Which if the foundation isnt right we know it will sink like sand thru a fist. Someone said one nasty word to me and me (being weak and vulnerable) of course brokedown and almost gave up. God pointed out to me that thru one hurtful word out of a humans mouth I was going to fall and give up. No matter who that person is or how important they are to me they cant be the sole basis of this process, this journey. They just cant be. I was basing this journey on pleasing them because they are so important to me. I can’t do that. The reason for this is #1 God is my foundation, beginning and end. Hes my provider of strength and everything else. The call he has on my life is why I am going for this. #2 I cant be a people pleaser. I am to be a God pleaser. I will never be able to please anyone 100% and just is unrealistic to expect too. The only one I am to worry about pleasing is God. Only one who can fully accept me is God. Thats my standard and realization. Thank you Lord!

    Although ive come to realize that I shouldnt base my life on someone elses judgment of me doesnt mean I dont love, value, and accept that person as is. Because although I cant expect that out of someone else… I am to show and give the same love and acceptence God gives to me. I look at Jesus’ loving kindness, his suffering, his sacrafices- Thats my only standard. Weather or not others do the same is not my concern, Only showing it is mine as I look in his eyes as I struggle along this path.
