Hello everyone. God has really been placing it on my heart to talk about the spiritual side of weight loss.
About seven years ago, my weight was taking an upward climb. I joined Weight Watchers and lost the weight and have been very successful in keeping it off. This isn't a shameless plug for Weight Watchers because what I learned was this: many of the principles they try to instill in their members have their basis in scripture: self-control, positive self-talk, dealing with emotional eating.
Self-control is an essential part of weight loss. For a biblical basis, we can look at Titus 2:11-12, which says: “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,.” I believe that if we apply God's principles to our lives (in every area), we would see greater victories against this epidemic of obesity, especially as it concerns the African American community.
What do you think?
