God's Temple

Wow! Dieting. Can I just say it stinks? Up a pound, down a pound. Why does chocolate have to be fattening? Why does everything that tastes great have to be fattening? Well, not everything but...yeah, I'm whining.
Eating healthy isn't really that hard. We just have to do it. I'll even admit there are alot of healthy choices that taste pretty good. Not great, but good.
I am one of those people who has struggled in a lifelong battle with their weight . I need to stop struggling and start eating better. And exercising. But Zumba? I seriously think I would hurt myself doing that. Or I'd kick someone else. Even in college I stayed to the back of the aerobics class. In a big tshirt and baggy sweatpants. Spandex? Now I'm really laughing.
I know God wouldn't like my complaining. Why do we struggle with food? All those folks with eating disorders. It's very sad. Whether you overeat or don't eat enough I think I may know the culprit. We aren't asking the right person for a plan.
God made our bodies to take in nutrition. A good, well rounded dose of it. Plenty of water and exercise too. Our body is a temple, right? Mine needs a lot less plaster and brick. If that was accomplished, maybe my curtains wouldn't need to be so heavy.
I think asking God to be our fitness coach and dietitian is the best goal we can achieve. When I have been in faithful prayer for help in this area of my life, I am stunned at how unappealing those chips suddenly look. God can even be my diet buddy? How cool is that? Never saw that coming. Asking and receiving is really awesome. I thank God for His encouragement in every area of my life. Wonder how we'd do at Zumba?
