The Secret To Sticking To Your Diet
Join me on Tuesday, January 17th at 7:00pm via Zoom at my Free 2023 Goal Setting Workshop This week we are going to be talking about how to make a diet stick.  Getting up the courage to go on a diet is the first step.  Setting about learning what we need to eat is step two.  Sticking to it is step three, and that third step is a doozy!  Right?  This episode is for you today, if you know what to eat, but just can’t stick to it.  And please hear my heart that this episode is just as much for me as it is for you.  Maybe more.  I do not ever want to come across like I’ve got this thing nailed down and I’m telling you what to do.  This is what the Lord has spoken to me, for my life, and I am sharing it with you.  None of us have it nailed down, even if or when we look like we do.     Okay, tell me if you have ever done this.  You decide to eat healthier.  You get rid of all of the junk in the house.  You go to the grocery and stock your kitchen with healthy food.  And then you are too tired to cook, so you run through the drive through, eating a LESS  healthy version of the food you just got rid of.   Or, you meal plan and meal prep.  You bring your lunch to work, but someone decides to order out.  So you leave your lunch in the fridge and get what everyone else is having?  You don’t want to feel deprived.   Or maybe you have lost weight, gotten rid of all your bigger clothes, vowing that you will NEVER gain that weight back.  Only to be out shopping for that size again a year or two later.   The struggle is REAL, friends!  So let’s talk about solutions.  Because every one of the scenarios I just mentioned makes us feel discouragement, guilt, and shame.  And that is not where we are meant to live.     Recent studies tell us that about 42% of adults are trying to lose weight.  That means 45 million Americans go on a diet each year and spend $33 billion, with a b, dollars a year on weight loss products.  20-25% of those people trying to lose weight will develop an eating disorder.   Paul says in Romans 7, “For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.”   We are taking this problem on as a physical problem, when in truth, it is a spiritual problem.  We are trying to make our soul not crave the things of the world.  That is the wrong strategy.  We need to fight this battle in the spiritual realm; not the physical. If you would like more help putting this strategy into practice, I have good news!  I have created a very affordable membership program that focuses on a mindset issue, or basically, a lie, and replacing it with God’s truth.  We focus on one issue a month because this takes time.  We meet in a private facebook group and on zoom.  You have access to an app that will educate you about what to eat and give you all of the tools to make it happen.  You can learn more by attending one of my free goal-setting workshops in the month of January.  Just click on the link in the show notes and download our planning worksheet.  I would love to see you there!
