Losing Weight from the Inside Out

By: Healthy By Design

Did you know that your outer world is merely a reflection of your inner world? Your physical body is the end result of mental, spiritual, emotional and chemical (nutrition) energies.

This means that healing your body (releasing weight, improving energy levels, eliminating pain) must be an inside job. Anything less is like putting a band-aid on cancer.

Jesus uses a wonderful analogy of a shepherd and his sheep.(John 10:1-14). We can use that same analogy to look at many traditional weight loss programs that do not promote change from the inside.

Like a hired hand (John 10:12), many weight loss programs exist more to make money, rather than to offer any real help. But we know that Jesus is committed to love us and his purpose is to give us a rich and satisfying life (John 10:10).

So exactly how do we apply this principle to weight release? Romans 12:2 instructs you not to copy the behaviour and customs of this world but to let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Change your thoughts and you will change your mind. But how do you change thoughts which you may not even be aware you possess?

Your feelings are an excellent insight into what’s going on inside your mind, as well as your body. How are you feeling right now? It might sound too simple but here goes...Seize those moments when you are feeling good—milk them for all they’re worth and do more of the things that make you feel good.

When you’re not feeling good, try your shifting your thoughts – think of those things that make you feel joy and glorify God. Paul urges us to fix our thoughts on what is true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy (Phil. 4:8). Beloved, the joy of the Lord is our strength (Neh 8:10).
