Still At It

     

                                

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."  1 Corinthians 10:13

     Goodmorning!! Yes, I'm still at it....Intermittent Fasting , that is!! It's been very unsuccessful up til the last 2 weeks though. I finally started losing weight again...3 lbs!! But I'm doing even better the last 2 days.  I decided to fast from sweet tea for a week. I started that Saturday. I'm also trying hard to cut out my sweets. I'm already feeling better from that, just in 2 days!  So, what I'm trying to say is,  during my eating window,  which is 12 pm to 7pm, I need to eat healthier if I'm trying to lose weight. That actually goes for any type of weight loss program or diet.  Although,  Intermittent Fasting is Not a diet, but a lifestyle.  My body is getting healthy too with IF. As I've mentioned in earlier posts, Intermittent Fasting has a lot of health benefits. Oh yeah, my sister,  Glenda,  reminded me about the sugar defeating my weight loss efforts. Thankyou,  Glenda!!

       The verse above relates to overcoming temptation. I've already memorized that verse but it's my focus memory verse for this week because with all the sweets in my house, my temptations are flying high. LOL So far I'm doing great since Sat but I know temptation will still be present.  God is my HELPER!! I KNOW I CAN LOSE WEIGHT  AND INCHES.  

     Temptations also involve other life aspects. For awhile I was binge watching Dark Shadows. I don't believe in the Satanic ways of the show but I could tell my Spiritual life was suffering,  even though I was reading my Bible daily and praying. God woke me up!! It was hard at first,  not watching it anymore, but thankfully God removed that stronghold from my life. God is so good!!! Thank-you,  God!! 

      I hope you have a blessed day and have enjoyed reading this post. If you have any comments or questions, just leave a comment here or pm me.  I'm here to help and encourage.  Also, feel free to read my other posts.

Love in Christ,
