Quit Going in Circles

Don't forget the strategy at the bottom!
We want to help you actively practice what you are reading today!  
Let God move mightily in your life!

"And this we will do, if God permits."  Hebrews 6:3

Do you ever feel like you're going in circles in your weight loss journey?  Or, does your journey feel like a one-step forward and two-steps back kind of process?  If so, the writer of Hebrews has some wisdom for us today.
In the very first verse of chapter six, we read this;

 "So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don't need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God."

A mouthful, yes.  But the principle is this.  Let us quit going over the basics and make some progress, here.  A truth we are desperate to embrace in our weight loss journeys.  Yet, at times seems nearly impossible to get past the basics, of knowing what to do and putting it into practice.
What we must realize is what the writer of Hebrews eludes to in verse three.  "And this we will do, if God permits."  We must realize first and foremost that achieving our goals in life, and in weight loss require God's help.  God will permit and activate His will over your weight loss today when you realize that you must have His help.  Trying to lose weight on your own, without God and the support of others on this same journey is like rowing a boat against the current.  You exert energy until you are exhausted, but get nowhere fast.
You are fighting a world that promotes gluttony, overeating, and eating unhealthy.

Daily success comes from daily surrender.  Think about the last time you were standing at the pantry, looking for a snack and deep down you knew it wasn't going to end well.  Were you surrendering to the Holy Spirit?  Or were you surrendering to your flesh?  Were you praying about what you were going to eat?  Or were you drowning out that "still small voice" and looking for chocolate?
The work of the Holy Spirit in your weight loss journey is a continuous action much like your walk with God.  As you mature and grow, old behaviors do eventually die away, never to return.  But to experience the death of these behaviors, we must remain persistent in our search for growth.
Take a moment to reread Hebrews 6:3 today as it pertains to your weight loss.  Ask God to help you continuously surrender to His plans for your weight loss and make this verse personal.  Maybe your personal translation of Hebrews 6:3 is this,
"God please permit success in my weight loss today as I continually surrender this journey to You."

Let's Pray.
Dear God,
I'm so tired of going in circles.  Tired of excluding You from this process and exhausted from gaining, losing, and gaining again.  God, I need to move forward with You.  The foundation has been laid in my journey.  It is solid.  Now I need to build on this foundation.  Help me God to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and build something great for my weight loss.  I surrender to You today, asking You to permit me to have success.  I will give you all the glory, honor and praise!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

E4M DAILY STRATEGY
Quit Going In Circles
How do we quit going in circles in weight loss?
 There's a saying, "You will never change your life until you change something you do everyday." Consider making the following changes to your day, and watch God change your life!  And your weight loss!

1. Try one new recipe every week:    E4M family, we have created exclusive recipe cards just for you!  Access them via the Equipped4More app under Member Resources.  Try a new one each week.  Staples are what you live by.  Make our healthy recipes your new staples and you will see a change in your weight!

2. Engage with your E4M family everyday:  We see this time and again.  Engagement equals success.  There is something about the power of community that promotes success on a weight loss journey. Make a commitment to engage with your E4M family TODAY!

3.  Never skip a weigh in:  One of the greatest secrets of my lasting success was the weekly weigh-in.  Choosing at the very beginning of my journey (with the Lord) to weigh in regardless of what the scale said proved to be pivotal to my success. I knew I had committed to facing the reality of my eating choices.  With that commitment, (even when the scale moved in the wrong direction) weighing in weekly allowed me to always get right back on track.

4.  Pray, Pray, Pray:  You cannot pray enough on this journey.  Seek the face of God day and night, and night and day.  More than anything, ask Him to reveal Himself to you in your journey.  Pray that you will allow Him to take the blinders off and finally fully surrender to His will for your weight loss!
