Yesterday I was at Walmart and decided to "take it to the next level" and buy a bottle of slim quick, this is a product that is supposedly designed to help women lose weight with things like water, hormonal imbalances, and other things that keep us from losing weight.
Last night was my first night as a youth leader and a friend spoke about prayer and about how important fellowship with God is. And BAM! Conviction hit me. Wasn't I trying to center my weight loss around God and committing it to him daily? Wasn't I seeking him for strength and endurance? Didn't I tell God that I wanted him to be glorified in this? Well, if I'm taking a weight loss supplement, isn't that going to take some glory away from God? So I need to take them back to the store. I need to continue on this path that I feel God has me on for a purpose much bigger than me just getting to a size 10.
I think I'm meant to motivate others as well and encourage them in their journey's. If I don't give God all the glory and commit all this to him, I will not succeed. Flat out, I cannot do this without Him.
On another note, I had an amazing workout today:).
