Summary
This has been a very tough struggle for me, so I want to share everything I've learned to overcome it.
I believe God wants to be involved in every detail of our lives, so here's His word to stand strong and confident on:
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. – Psalm 32:8
Let's just all agree that weight loss is not simply one calorie in one calorie out.
Calories do matter, the food that's making up your calories matters a lot, but hormones matter more!
Our hormones are driving the weight loss process! Especially as you get into perimenopause and menopause.
Our world just thinks of weight loss as diet and workout, but the emotional, mental, social, and spiritual factors may be even more important.
Consider this...A daily battle with the bathroom scale can cause shame, judgment, suffering, and obsession with weight—making it harder and harder to lose weight.
And stress brought on by extreme diets and extreme exercise can undermine them entirely—and actually cause weight gain.
Here's the thing I've lived and learned.
There are things we can do and we need to give lifestyle modifications an honest go.
Faith Fuel:
Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. – Psalm 51:6
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. – Psalm 90:12
