8 Surprising Benefits of Weight Loss (that youโre not even thinking of)!
| Everyone talks about how losing weight …
But did you know that it can create a positive domino effect in EVERY area of your life? Here are some achievements that members inside A Body of Grace recently celebrated: I have spent more time in the Word and I’m drawing closer to God. I’m no longer afraid of backsliding on all the progress I’ve made. I had one cookie with my kids and was fine not having more. It felt so good to have self-control. I was stressed today...and I didn’t raid the pantry to make myself feel better! I’ve been spending my evenings with the kids instead of zoning out scrolling my phone and eating chips. Over the last month, I’ve realized I don’t look in the mirror and say mean things to myself as often. I... |
What Might You Lose? {I'm not talking about weight...}
I bet you’re thinking, “Oh, weight loss coach trying to have us dream big… talking about how much weight I could lose…”
No. Not today.
I don’t know how much weight you could lose. Every BODY is different. But, that’s a whole other post.
Instead, I rather focus on…
What could you lose OUT on in your future?
The new year is a good time to reflect.
Honestly, I don’t set goals in the New Year. I set new goals once I achieve a goal or God directs me elsewhere. Just because a new year begins doesn’t mean either one of these things has happened.
Often, I find myself at the new year REEVALUATING.
Yes, my goals AND reevaluating if what I am doing is getting me closer to my goals or not.
I think this time of year is the perfect time to reflect and renew GOING forward.
So, let’s focus there.
How?
Well, I take 3 steps. Take them or leave them. I’m not going to suggest I’m...
How to Never "Start Over" in 2024
Can you make it a whole year and never start over on your weight loss journey?
YES! I know you can!
There is only one way to do it though...
Stop giving up.
That’s it.
Because the truth is, if you never “give up” you never have to "start over".
But what does not give up look like?
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY... IT'S NOT BEING PERFECT!
What is it then?
Faith and action.
“The only thing that counts is FAITH expressing itself through love” Galatians 5:6b
Faith = trusting in God and His good plan. Then living it out through acts of love.
Think about it. When have you given up in the past?
- Not seeing results “fast” enough or the result you wanted (i.e. the scale goes up)
- Taking an action that you’re disappointed you took (i.e. having a binge)
- Being filled with doubt that you are capable
- Becoming distracted and ignoring the initial commitment you made to yourself
All these come down to a lack of faith and love.
Faith is...
Self-Discipline: The Art to Master the Mindset of Lasting Weight Loss
Self-discipline is a science and an art.
The science = the action taken.
The art = the mindset to take action.
You need both.
My guess, is you've been mainly focusing on the actions… thinking about what you need to do or not do that would make you self-disciplined.
A really great thing! But you're missing something.
This is evident if you keep doing the opposite of, what you define as, self-disciplined action.
That's how you know you've been missing the art... the mindset of self-discipline.
And the mindset takes practice.
Just like you can’t expect to paint like an artist the first time you pick up a brush.
Let me help you practice…get better at mastering the art of self-discipline.
Here are the 3 mindset shifts to make if you want to have more self-discipline (whether it be with food, exercise, cleaning, work…)
1. God has equipped me to get this done. I...
