Good Day Today

Sunday, June 27, 2010

This week has been a good one and I know the rest of the week will be as well. God is with me, as He always has been, however I have finally faced my stronghold and am working with Him to defeat it. He promises me I can, so I will!

I hope that everyone who is struggling with motivation (as I was for quite some time) will realize that you must DO it even if you don't FEEL like it. Eat right, get some exercise and track. Be accountable to yourself first and foremost.

I believe it was Joyce Meyer who said that if you will do what you know is right, even if you don't FEEL like it, after a period of time, your FEELINGS will catch up with your DOING. She was talking about forgiving someone even if you didn't think they deserved it, because it was God's will. It also will keep your heart soft towards God so that you can hear His voice.

I just realized that this principle can be applied towards any area of our lives that we are in disobedience to God about, and believe me, I have been disobedient towards God about my eating habits. I've eaten food in secret, so that my family doesn't know about it, and I've lied about what I have eaten. No more. I will be honest 100% with myself, God, and if they ask, with my family as well about every food choice that I make.

I will do this, even if I screw up (which I will because I'm human). But I will honestly post, to the best of my ability, what I ate so that I can be accountable to myself and see what situations and/or foods lead me to being disobedient.

Sorry for the rant...it just keeps coming out! lol
Hope everyone has a great week and keeps their eyes on Him!

    Before you can forgive others, you must be able to forgive yourself. We may be dishonest with ourselves and others about what we eat or how much we exercise, but we are only cheating ourselves. God knows how dishonest we are and he loves us anyway. Ask Him to give you the strength to keep on track.

    I loved your blog and your take on that quote about doing what you know is right!!! And you are correct that it can be applied to so many more things than forgiving others!! (Tho that is a hard one to do, at times!!) Anyway, you can always take your nutrition tracking off from being seen by the public and you may be more inclined to be more honest. I think once we track honestly, we can better see what our problem areas are.

Just remember, you have the Best Coach cheering you on to victory!!
