Your Environment is Keeping You from Losing Weight

 1 Corinthians 15:32-34 “ What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.  Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.”  Romans 14:21, “:It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.”4 Steps to Start:STEP 1: CLEAN YOUR ENVIRONMENTSTEP 2: ADD SUPPORTSTEP 3: CREATE DEFAULT HABITSSTEP 4: PROTECT YOUR FOCUSIf you keep surrounding yourself with triggers you’ll keep falling into the same patterns. This isn’t about restriction. It’s about wisdom and leaning into the Holy Spirit. It’s about honoring God with our choices and our bodies and teaching our families a different way to live.So, take a second to think; what in your environment needs to change? Write it down and ask the Lord to help you. He will. Pitch the food before your family has time to object, empty the bag so you don’t have a Costanza moment, Be the change.

Open the hearts of my friends and family as I continue on this journey to health and healing in Your Name. Not so that You will love me, but because You do. Thank You Father for a renewed sense of hope and self. Thank you for giving my family open hearts as I talk to them, lead me Jesus, help me to say the right thing and thank You for the opportunity to instill good habits in my children from here on out. Help me to be the change in our home. I love you Father, lead me, guide me, direct me, I love You, I trust You and I am so thankful that You continue to lead me down this path. Help me remove distractions and excuses Lord. Help me to surround myself with truth.
