“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who are trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.” Hebrews 12:11-12

“This is what the Lord says: ‘Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.’” Jeremiah 6:16

Fixing assumes something is broken. So when your approach sounds like:

• “I need to fix my metabolism” “I need to fix my cravings”“I need to fix my body”

Your nervous system hears danger because constant monitoring increases stress, especially when results seem so far off, which they always do at the start. Stress increases cortisol, the stress hormone and cortisol tells your body to conserve, protect, fight.

Your body resists not because it’s stubborn, but because it’s being managed like a problem instead of cared for like a person.

Healing happens when the body feels safe enough to let go, when we start to walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit.

Don’t you WANT that?

Don’t you crave that healing and peace?

What’s keeping you from actually walking in His ways and trusting that surrender works?

Do you think you know more than God?

As you journal today ask yourself:

• Where have I been trying to “fix” myself instead of obey and listen? What would change if I treated my body like an ally? Who could I become if I let God lead my weight loss journey?

Lord, I’m tired of fighting and fixing. I am exhausted to be honest. I say I just want You to fix me, yet when You lead and guide me I don’t listen. Help me release the belief that my body is a problem to solve, I love her Lord, help me treat her as such. Thank You for this body Father, forgive me for trying to “fix” myself, I am not broken because You are in me Jesus. Teach me how to create safety in my body instead of pressure to conform to the world. I only want to obey You Lord. Please show me how. I love You so much and it’s in Your Name I pray, Amen.

Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?

Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach. I gained 100 pounds in my late twenties and struggled for years to get it off. Seven years ago, I found a basic system that worked and has helped me lose 90 of those pounds.

• • Lose Weight in a Way that honors God without obsessing about the scale
  • Meal Plan and Prep for Your Family
