Don't give up, brother! You can do it!
Pray earnestly for it. Pray for inspiration and motivation, not just sheer will power. Let GOD enable you to do it.
I was very big at the start of this year. The biggest i've ever been. 82kg. At 5'2", that makes my BMI 33, classified as Obese I. I got there 'coz i struggled with depressed and emotional eating. My right knee hurt like hell, and my heart really worked hard in short bursts of activity, like climbing a flight of stairs. Plus i've run out of clothes that fit me well. And i was very unhappy with my appearance. So i prayed and prayed for it, really wanting to be fit. To have the best version of me. To glorify GOD. I viewed my body as a gift from GOD, something that i should take care of as a good steward of HIS blessing.
That did it.
GOD is truly the best motivator, and not the worldly goals i used to have (become sexy, hot, attractive, etc...)
I am now so motivated to achieve my target weight. I'm no longer a soda goer (i occasionally drink them now, in very small amounts, sipping them like wine. They make me hyperacidic now that i've gotten used to not drinking them.), and i watch my portion intake. Half or quarter rice only, focusing on greens and protein. Drinking plenty of water, and taking fruits as snack. Avoiding junk food and processed food. I still eat the occasional pizza, burgers, fries, ice cream and desserts, but i watch the amount and frequency. I no longer eat like there's no tomorrow XD.
Plus i do Insanity workouts by Shaun T (they are super tough, but super rewarding. In just 3 consecutive days of doing recovery period training which is started out with, since it's the intensity level that my body could take at present, my thighs already showed definition. It's amazing! You really have to push through.)
Now, i'm 67.4kg. Just 15kg more, and i'm set
i feel great and light, satisfied with what i eat, and i look better in my clothes. And my folks are really seeing the change, and are so happy for me. Most of all, i feel more confident in our LORD, coz i have seen HIM enable me to do this. If HE has done it for me, HE will most certainly do it for you. Just trust in HIM to motivate you and inspire you and enable you
Ephesians 3:20-21
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
I will pray for you strongly, dear brother in Christ! GOD bless you on your journey to fitness, and a deeper and stronger relationship and faith in our awesome and wonderful GOD!!
