Continuing this journey
It makes me think of the road less traveled. Remember, I did not want to do fad diets. Not that they do not work. It is just that I did not want a temporary solution to get in some dress for a special occasion.
I had to make a choice. It was only two for me. Whether I was going to try something on my own or go to the wholistic center, it would be cheaper if I did it on my own. I would need an accountability partner. Either way, it seemed to involve money. I started buying grass-fed meat, low-calorie, low-fat, and all-natural, chemical-free foods, but I was not losing weight in the end. Still gaining because low calorie and low-fat made me think that I could eat more of it. I never asked anyone to be my accountability partner, by the way. But I knew it had to do with making sound decisions with my eating. The other choice was–go to the Holistic Center.
Okay, find the email with the number and get to calling. So, I did. The Holistic Center answered the phone; I told them what I wanted and the person that referred me. Great, the staff person said! We do free consultations and do you want to come in today. We have some openings.
What? No, I cannot come today. I’m at work. It is going to take 45 minutes for me to get there, and I work downtown. Do you know how much traffic goes that way? What hours do you have? Notice I’m procrastinating. We will talk about that at another time. Here is the choice again. Do I want to lose weight?
Mindset change—make a choice! For me, I chose to make an appointment. This whole weight loss journey has just been full of transformations – both physically and spiritually. Yes, I can make a choice that benefits me. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for the strength to say, “YES.” Yes, to a new Transformed ME!
Choices are inevitable.
Have you made some choices lately regarding some goals you have?
What process did you take to make the final decision?
Did you know that no decision is a choice?
Blessings!
