There's one thing stopping you from losing your weight. 

• It's not your crazy schedule. 
• It's not your husband's grocery shopping.
• It's not being stuck at home or stuck at work.
• It's not even you eat a whole pint of ice cream in one sitting (believe me, I've still lost weight and done this)

 Wanna know what it is? 

 It's a lie. A lie believed to be true. 

 Something like, "Forget it. I can't lose weight." 

The moment you think "I can't" is the moment you have to STOP. You need to stop and understand what's really going on.

 You need some Truth.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil." (Proverbs 3:5-7)

The truth: God gave you a gift of free will. Just like Eve had a choice in the garden, we still have a choice every minute of...

We’ve been lied to.

Over and over again.

It has been so steady and constant, that we don’t even know what the truth is anymore.

Now our heads are spinning in confusion and overwhelm. 

What is it that I believe?  What is truth anymore?  Who is right?  How do I figure this out?

I get it. I’m right there with you. 

It’s so exhausting that I just want to shut down and shut out.

Especially with all that is going on in this world right now.

I know resisting the world and resisting how I feel is not the answer. 

It won’t make things better.  It won’t make me feel any less confused and overwhelmed.  Confusion and overwhelm will just keep me stuck in the muck of feeling miserable.

I know I need to move forward.  But where do I go?

The Truth.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

For the law was giving...

I knew a woman.

She was a beautiful woman with a wonderful life.  She lived in a nice town with a great house and worked a good job.

She had one problem with her life, as she saw it.

Her weight.

She was constantly going up and down.  Losing some, gaining it back again.  Usually gaining back more than what she lost.

It frustrated her.

She couldn’t understand why it had to be so hard.

Why did it have to be hard to feel good about yourself?

That was the problem.

It wasn’t her weight.  It was what she told herself. 

She was telling herself she couldn’t do it.  She was telling herself she struggled with her daughter.  She was telling herself that she wasn’t a good boss. 

She was telling herself she wasn’t good enough… 

It wasn't something she even was really aware of. And, she didn’t want to admit that she was even saying these things about herself. Since she didn't...
