What God taught me about weight loss this week

[jennifer_bloom]

I had two major factors that were affecting my weight loss, maybe three.

The first was hunger because of liver issues, I learned about two supplements that reversed that problem within 4 days.

The second was I did not have time to exercise and since exercise made me hungry, I thought there was little value in working out since my body would simply ask me to eat back the calories I burned.

The third factor was cravings and this is what I’m here to discuss. I read a fascinating book on the mental and physical benefits of having positive social relationships and mental precepts and found the book to be so fascinating I nearly choose reading over sleep and I noticed that during the time I was entranced by the book, I was not interested in eating potato chips. In fact it seem abhorrent for me to eat junk food because my body said I was full.

When my mind was more lax and unfocused with no known goal in sight, I began to crave chips again and my body told me I was hungry and not getting necessary spices I needed. From that I realized that if I wanted to avoid over indulging on physical food, I would have to feed my body with spiritual and mental and emotional food, because my body was interpreting my unfulfilled mind as hunger and not realizing my problem was intellectual and not physical.

So that is how God helped me lose weight. From now on, I will satisfy my craving for chips with books and not food.

Nice piece. I'm sure that you found that number two isn't true. Exercise- especially resistance work that increases muscle mass- helps drop weight and trim down in the long run. but I digress - - - - -

I don't know if your book was by Stop Gaining Weight, by Dr. L. Pawlak, but that book goes into the psychological aspects of food, eating patterns, eating reasons, relationships, etc., and was a fairly compelling read for me. (I had to read it as a text for a CEU class to maintain my massage license.)Don't fret about others when they pooh-pooh us when we say "God taught me - - - - - God led me - - - - - - ", etc. God has SO MANY ways of telling us/reminding us/guiding us/opening some doors while closing others, etc. it boggles the mortal mind. We've experienced His merciful "coincidences" too. Keep up the reading - and the exercise.

If you get to little nutrition and fuel you body get in a state that it will save the reserves instead of burning them off. even begin to store more.
Depending on what zone you are in to little trigger different processes in our bodies.

First do you need to address your liver issue. then you stressed metabolic system.
Cut out stressful things from life. it can kill us.
An other thing is to get better sleep quality, especially combined sleep, at least 8 hours. if you don't get that it's pointless to do anything else since our bodies break and will kill us. if we don't sleep at all we will only live for about 14 days. there should be research about anyone could Google.

There aren't any magical quick fix for lazy minds or shortcuts. not even drugs or herbs.
