Ever feel determined? Want to do something that you know you can do, but it will take work and effort?
April 22 I decided I was going to lose some weight. I got on the scales and it told me it was time to shed about 15 pounds.
No more ice cream, dr. pepper or seconds at meals.
I was determined from that day to lose those pounds.
It was hard work but in less than three months I did it. Since then I have kept it off by staying busy and eating smarter.
Any time we change directions and make a major life change it is a difficult task. It takes work to not resort back to those things that are easy and sometimes “delicious in life” but we know they are not good for us.
Why do we give in and ignore what’s best for us?
Because the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"
