So sick of Cancer
I have went to three funerals in the last eight months to loved ones who have passed away due to their battle with cancer. I'm sick of cancer! I hate cancer! Why is there so much CANCER? I personally believe because Satan tries every avenue he can to shorten our life and to pervert and ruin. Too many chemicals going in our body and too many chemicals in cleaning products and etc. Our bodies were not created to absorb chemicals. Also, our household pets are also fighting cancers as well. Where vets are overvacinating pets. Our bodies were not made to survive on fake food or medicines. We were created to eat whole foods that are grown in the ground. So many people live day by day only consuming snack foods and foods that they cook out of boxes.... Or foods that they get out of a can.... Please share your insight on this.

Including the Lord in your journey
The bible says,
Psalm 37:23-24 (New Living Translation)
23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. 24 Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.
This is so very encouraging to me. Though we stumple, we will NEVER fall for the Lord holds them by hand. God is with us every step of the way. I truly believe that today, the addiction to food and just "addictions" in general have gotten us in a rut with our bodies and with our health. Just as Eve was tempted by an apple and failed. We are tempted everyday by bad food and fall short so many times. How do we get to a point in our lives where we care more about what we put in our bodies?
The first thing I found helpful was educating myself about food. Why do I eat food? Why do I need it? What is healthy? What is considered unhealthy? Then I spent time in prayer asking God to teach me about food and how I am suppose to think about food. I noticed that after a while I no longer ate when I was bored. I learned "food" discernment if you will. (LOL) I started to care more about what I put in my body and how I cooked. I turned to the "Makers Diet" which was recommended to me by a good friend of mine that is a personal trainer. Also, he gave me some pointers on working out and most of all he gave me a sounding board. You have to have someplace in your life where someone or something can be your sounding board. But in all honesty, we simple confusing human beings, have overcomplicated losing weight. Basically, if you go back to the basics and eat only living foods (shop on the outer shell of the grocery store and don't go in the middle - the middle consist of processed foods)then our body will work the way God intended for it to work. It's basic knowledge that we already know and when we read it we say to ourself well "duh" I already knew that.... but the simple truth is. God created us to be seperate from the world? With that in mind, why would we eat like the world?
The bible says that we are overcomers. We have overcome the world. We can and will overcome bad habits and replace them with good habits. We will be healthy. : )
Dear Lord, we pray for you to deliver us from food addictions and unhealthy habits. Help us to renew our mind when it comes to food and exercise. Give us your power so that we may successfully get healthy. In Jesus precious name, we pray. A men. : )

Welcome
I wanted to created a blog where people can meet and talk about their ups and downs in their journey of losing weight or gaining weight. I understand that no matter what size we are we all have things we would like to do to our body. A lot of us struggle to lose weight and several struggle to gain weight. It's not easy and sometimes we lose our motivation. We are ususally our worst enemy in true transformation. Do you feel desperate at times? Do you feel "neediness" and like you've lost strength in your journey of transformation? Sometimes and a lot of times we feel that way in life. However, that feeling is not always a bad thing. It's ususally when I have given up on myself that the Lord has stepped in and took care of me. Which means, I finally "died" to my own selfish desires. I hope that together we can offer each other support and encouraging. Please feel free to post your weightloss/gain progress and also request prayer or prayer for others. : )
