Anyone who has ever dieted knows how it feels to fail.....and it doesn't feel good. The biggest obstacle anyone will face with dieting is the "setback" moment (and some lasts for days) when all our hard work seems for not. Trying to devise a plan to reach your goal often seems daunting. Here are four helpful tips I've learned to apply while pursuing wellness (which always results in a healthier you):
1) Never despise one pound of weight loss. It may seem small but add one pound to another and it all adds up eventually.
2) Love and respect yourself. It's amazing how well we treat others but will ignore our own needs or allow someone else to disrespect us. God made you and calls you His "workmanship". It's your responsibility to take care of your body (temple) out of respect for God.
3) Reward yourself with something other than food. Indulging in food after being "good" is a self-perpetuating cycle of defeat that leads to failure.
4) Be honest with yourself. If you're not eating healthy whole foods, staying well rested and balancing your priorities (God first, then yourself, then your family, then your occupation/ministry/calling) your body will eventually show it.
Learning to turn your "setback" into a "comeback" not only changes your way of thinking it changes your end result!
