OK, it\u2019s the start of a new week. It\u2019s another day, yes, but today\u2019s a special day. It\u2019s the start of a new you.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what to do if you\u2019ve stepped on the scale today, and it\u2019s \u201cnot what you expected.\u201d<\/p>\n
1 \u2013 Don\u2019t panic. Put your trust in God, and ask Him for help.
\n2 \u2013 Try to get real. What is it you\u2019re doing (or not doing) that may be causing the problem?
\n3 \u2013 Are you off your food plan? Many people have purchased a book, or started a new program, but really aren\u2019t doing it. Is that you?
\n4 \u2013 are you eating a lot of something in particular? Like carbohydrates? Like too much fatty foods? Simply ask God to help you eat less of these trouble foods.
\n5 \u2013 are you exercising? Do you walk every day, at least? Remember, moving, playing, being physical makes you feel good. Just get up, get out, and go!<\/p>\n
I hope these ideas are helpful. Most of all, don\u2019t worry, and don\u2019t do anything drastic. Like the old fable of the Tortoise and the Hare, slow and easy wins!<\/p>\n
Would love your ideas, and to hear what you\u2019re doing. Please post a comment below.<\/p>\n
