Does a non-believer Lose weight the same way that a Christian does?
Yes we do lose the same weight but I think we have different ways of doing it.
I sit here and I am thinking about that Question.
I think weight loss for any one is going to be hard. And for most of us we need more that just our voice in our head to help us through this. So here are a few things that one needs to use and remember while trying to lose weight. (I came up with these ideas, if you have some that you think are important comment on this blog and let me know what you think)
Prayer is the number one thing I can tell you to do to help you lose the weight. We have to remember that we cannot do everything by our self we need help, therefore Leaning on God is a must for an believer, we know that “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. So I believe that prayer and your relationship with God is a must in everything we do. Not just losing weight.
Accountability, This is important because we may slip up once and a while. Its going to happen, the thing is that if you do slip, to get back up and try again. Having people around you that understand what you are doing and why you are doing it, will help you in the long run. They can encourage you but also they will be able to help you.
Determination. I am determined to do this, I think that this gives me something to focus on. While most people say you cannot do it, I LOVE proving people wrong. Even though I am not doing this for them, it’s kinda fun.
Exercise. This is not the most fun but it can be fun. Make it fun, find out what you like to do. If it is walking then walk, swim then swim. If you can’t do your favorite form of exercising every day, try to do it once or twice a week. Keeping it fun, walk with a person, or get an mp3 player. The more things that you can find to help you, exercise more the better for you!!!
KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There are a lot of people who do struggle with weight. However, there are those people who are pencil thin who do not have problems. Sometimes they do try to understand but it’s not the same. Know that there are people who want to pray for you and I would be more than happy to do that!!!
I am going to leave you with a youtube video of one of my favorite songs, I have been singing it in my head for a littlewhile and it needs to be shared. Its by a group called Shane and Shane .
