I’ve recently acquainted myself with the truth that good health spitually and physically go hand in hand.
There was one mistake though: It’s the HDL cholesterol that’s the “good cholesterol”. The LDL is the bad one that should remain low.

I’ve been struggling a lot with my weight and it seems like I can never get over with my hunger. I’m constantly eating. I thought abot taking diet pills… but I felt a huge conviction fell upon me. It was as if the Spirit of God was telling me to not do that. It’s like God wants to say that my body is not my own… i should Honor Him with my body. I like the bible verse Hebrews 12:11. That really made me think twice about my decision. I rather choose to be a good stewardship of my body for the Lord. Thanks for this article!!!

Nor do I believe that He honors unhealthy food behaviors of any sort that we may have fallen prey to at one time or another.

God wants what’s best for us. He wants us to eat the foods that He has given us from His land. Not overly processed, packaged, man-made foods filled with many synthetic and chemical ingredients.

It helped me to get control of my eating when I came to the realization that gluttony, over-indulgence and excess are all actually sins. Even when it comes to food! We can have treats, but we must do so reasonably. I’m pretty sure it is what He wants. He rewards us when we lead disciplined and self-controlled lives. It goes for almost every area of our lives. Self-discipline and self-control, in effect, are very Christian act. We can make sacrifices for Him and for His sake. We are always rewarded when we do.

This article just reinforces the fact that I HAVE TO get in shape. I knew that I had to get in shape for my health, but now I know also to honor the Lord. Literally, every single meal choice of the day is a challenge. I’m in a constant battle between the right and wrong food choices. I can say that for today’s dinner choice I have won; the devil did not win this evenings mental battle. On my way home from school this evening I literally drove in and out of churches chicken, popeyes chicken, and mcdonalds before finally making the right dinner choice and ending up at the restaurant Panera Bread. I’m writing this and eating a delicious Greek salad. Soon eating healty will be a natural instinct. For those of you trying to lose weight, I just want to say to never give up, even if you make a bad decision every so often. Keep praying and focus on your future goal. Blessings..wendy Brown

Lord keep me conscious as I prepare the next meal for my husband, my children and my church familiy. Help me to be more active physically as so many eyes are watching.

The hardest part is to making the first step and then to keep making it day after day. Soon it becomes easier and easier. We all fall down sometimes, but true Christians get up and keep trying to follow in Christ’s way.
It is such a wonderful and revealing transformation when you let go and let God!
To the many who are trying to lose weight and to those who are managing well: Keep walking with the Lord as you continue to make choices in your life. Self discipline is simply Christianity in action. You are not your own. You will be handsomely rewarded for making the best decisions!
