Simplicity Weight Loss
I think Jesus loved simple.
This is just my thought, but there is some evidence to back this.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV
Paul writes about how the gospel is simple, easy and it’s the enemy that makes it hard, complicated.
Also, Jesus condenses all the laws and commandments into TWO! (Matthew 22: 37-40)
“For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” 1 Corinthians 14:33e
So why do we get caught up in the confusion of complicating things?
The enemy KNOWS it trips us up.
What does this have to do with weight loss?
EVERYTHING.
The majority of my time is spent simplifying things for my clients.
They (like I used to be) are so resistant to letting go and embracing the simpler way!
But, really ponder on this question… How can simple living be a benefit?
Believe me. If you sit down and really think this out, you’ll come up with a whole LIST of benefits. (I HIGHLY encourage you to do this exercise and see them! Don't just take my word for it.)
They’ll distill down to this…
LESS STRESS
LESS OVERWHELM
What if you created less stress and overwhelm in your life?
What would that mean to you and your family?
What could you do that you aren’t doing now?
What would that mean for God’s kingdom?
Yes! Exactly. A LOT of good.
How do you implement simplicity into your weight loss journey?
Here are a few ideas:
- Fewer meals
- Simple meals and meal plans
- Less variety of foods (pantry/fridge)
- Eating similar food daily
- Simple grocery store routine (shop perimeter and only 3 isles)
- One-movement exercises
- Short/intense exercise
- Buys a FEW staple clothing pieces that fit well NOW (whatever weight you’re at)
- Read one passage from the Bible daily
- Meal plan once a week
There are MANY more for your weight loss and your life, but these can get you started.
Let me be very clear: DO NOT IMPLEMENT THESE ALL AT ONCE.
That defeats the purpose of simplicity.
Love yourself to show yourself grace and take the intentional time to simplify your life.
