I’ve been overweight all my life. I’ve been a believer for 5 years. When I think about being fat, I used to beat myself up for it – for my weakness, my greed, my inability to “stick” to healthy eating & exercise routines.
Recently, I realized all my excess fat symbolizes “stored energy” & “unused potential” in my life. Because I resolved to use my talent, energies, career to bring God’s love & light more fully into this world, the fact that I have so much “unused potential” is unacceptable.
Our bodies are given to be used for a higher good. Our gifts & talents are given to be used to serve & help others. When I’m on my way to the gym, I sometimes speak to my body. I thank it for never failing to do its job. I praise all my parts for carrying out their functions without any input from me. I tell my body I love it – strengthening it & conditioning it with exercise is how I show that love because it is beautiful but covered over with so much unused energy (fat) it may not live long enough to do the job it was put here to do. It is capable of doing much more than I have ever demanded of it. But I need it to function at optimal levels so the work of God can be done.
This reasoning is how I personally was able to position fitness & healthy eating into my reluctant “brain banks.”
I don’t know if it is helpful – i only wished to share. Thank you for your work in faith & health. It is SO important. Keep it up!!!
