I am now currently in the third week of my healthy living journey. This week, I have been working on making peace with myself. Making peace with how I look now, with the clothing size I am in, with the number on the scale. I must remind myself that God does not love me any more or any less based on these numbers. What He wants is my heart. I am worth more than any of those numbers.
I’m not gonna lie. This has been hard. I love snacking on highly processed, high sugar foods. But, I am excited to say that I have denied myself and my cravings more than I used to. I haven’t quit all the snacks, but I have limited them. And that feels good.
This week, as I am learning to make peace with myself, realizing that yes, I am a child of God of the Universe and I am praying for these things:
- Holy Spirit
- self-control
- to be more like Jesus
- victory
What are you praying about this week?
I’d love to pray for you too!
