Get Up

Have you been lazy about working out?  Did you give in to your cravings AGAIN? Did you succumb to bingeing and purging after weeks of therapy and healthy eating?  Were you struggling with a trigger that leads back to anorexia this week?  Have you regained most or all of the weight you lost?  If so, I have something to tell you that you probably don't want to hear, "Get up and try again!"
 
I know your flesh doesn't want to, but it's time to get back in the health and fitness fight.  Remember!  The Bible says, "A just man falls 7 times and rises up again" (Proverbs 24:16).  You're old enough to know the difference between stumbling and scraping your knee as opposed to actually falling down and breaking your leg.  Recognize that a setback does not mean you have been defeated.  Understand that the victor is the one who wins the war even though he may have lost a few battles.  God has ordained victory over the mountain of obesity and eating disorders staring back at you in the mirror if you don't quit!  Be strong!  "Let us not become weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap the harvest if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9).
 
Losing weight and overcoming eating disorders is very difficult, especially when you're trying to do it with only your own feeble strength and willpower.  Furthermore, the more weight you have to lose or the longer you’ve struggled with the disorder, the more impossible it seems to be free of it.  What's worse is that you feel like you're in it alone, particularly when you're ready to lose weight or stop bingeing and purging, but those around you who are complicit in your dysfunctional relationship with food are content to continue living an unhealthy lifestyle.  However, when you change your focus to eating for the glory of God, a wonderful thing happens!  You're no longer in it alone!
 
With God what seemed impossible is now attainable because He enables you to succeed where you once failed!  His strength never fails, and His will isn't weak!  But there will still be days when your flesh craves fried chicken instead of grilled chicken, French fries instead of baked sweet potatoes, starvation instead of eating, purging instead of letting your food digest and be absorbed to nourish your body.  At those times, the enemy will try to make you believe that God has left you in the battle alone.  Remember that Satan is a liar and God has promised, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).  All you have to do is trust Him, stand up, and get back in the fight.  Then watch God fight for you and give you the laurels of victory!
 
If you're ready to get up and get back in the health and fitness fight, purchase your copy of the Eating as an Act of Worship Teacher's Edition TODAY!  In the book, you'll learn the biblical principles regarding the body, dieting, exercising, and maintaining a healthy body for the glory of God!

I must confess that since I have been going through this battle in my body, I haven't always chosen to eat the "right" foods. And I have not been exercising. But this blog has encouraged me this in the Lord this morning to get back on track. Thank you Ann Taylor & EAW.
