Listen, if there's been an excuse to be made about eating a treat, I've made it. I love to eat and I love to cook, I love homemade desserts made with love and I love it when people love the things I make. I feel like cooking is my love language, so learning to set boundaries with myself here is often difficult, but I believe it's key to spiritual discipline practices and God's call on our lives. Here are a few things that helped me take responsibility for my choices and biblical eating journey.
1. I have to ask myself what I really want. Do you want to be overweight and reliant on food for joy? I don't and I imagine you don't either. Start to ask yourself this question any time you're faced with a question or struggle area. It works on more than food
2. Pray for strength to eat what God was calling me to, even if I am the only one. There were times, out to eat with people that I had to really pray for strength to stay on course with God's leading. It isn't always easy in the moment, but you ALWAYS feel SO GOOD when you are obedient!
3. Trust Him, listen and obey, let Him give you a win so you have the courage to continue. The win won't come fast but it WILL come!
4. Know when it's time to feast and time to fast then DO IT. No shame, no guilt, no caving into the flesh. We're Holy Spirit led sis!
Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?
Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach. I gained 100 pounds in my late twenties and struggled for years to get it off. Seven years ago, I found a basic system that worked and has helped me lose 90 of those pounds. I’ve been working with women in online fitness and nutrition ever since to break chains of diet culture, embrace their bodies and fueling instead of dieting.
