Would you like to be like your thin friends who can easily turn down
snacks or who can stop eating in the middle of a cheeseburger and
never look back? Would you like to permanently put an end to the
binges at 10-o’clock at night? Have you tried every diet program out
there 500 times (or so it seems)? Try the Truth.
Weigh Down teaches that changing the FOOD, or making the food behave, will do nothing to help you change your heart and permanently lose weight. That’s why fat-free, calorie-counting, fat-gram counting diets will never work in the long run. You must change the HEART and your own DESIRE for extra food to permanently be able to eat regular foods and maintain the body weight God planned for you. You will never look back once you find out how God can help you lose the extra weight and break completely free from the magnetic pull of food!
God has programmed an ability in each of us to know when the body
needs food and when it has had enough. Unfortunately, somewhere along
the line, we have unplugged this natural instinct that He placed
within us. Now you have a chance to relearn how to eat only when you
are physically hungry and stop when you are full, with no desire or
temptation to eat beyond that! You will find a new, God-given
self-control as you stand up to the old temptations of food!
Once you start only swallowing food when your stomach calls for it, you will eat just one-half to one-third of what you used to eat, and the extra weight will come off. You will probably be amazed at how much more you have been eating than what the body actually needs; you will find more energy, strength, and vitality as your body no longer has to work so hard to process unneeded amounts of food. As you learn about the new volume of food that your body actually requires, you will also be rediscovering the joys of the bountiful flavors and food God created! Everything has been created to be enjoyed with thanksgiving - as long as you take it in moderation with no greed for more.
You fall in love with what you focus on - how do you think your
children fall in love with basketball stars or musical performers?
They study them, focus on them, and know everything about them. You
will learn to fall out of love with the food as you take your focus
away from it, and you will fall in love with the God who provides,
loves, protects, disciplines, and guides. He has a wonderful plan for
you, and His laws and decrees are perfect.
You will learn the peace and joy and freedom in following the example of our Savior, Jesus Christ, as He laid down His own will in the garden and followed God’s will, stating, "Not my will, but Yours be done."
Do not worry about what people think - do not consider how big or how
little you are - do not think of yourself at all. If God puts this
course of action on your heart, then come along. God does not call
perfect people; He calls imperfect people to be devoted to Him so
that we can see His awesome and mighty right hand rescue us!
