"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. "
Hebrews 4:16, NLT
Weight loss is a battle that we can not win on our own. We must have someone on our side to help fight the battle. God is on our side......He is there to help us. He is there to help us when we need it most...He never leaves us.

"For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. "
Philippians 2:13, NLT
God is on our side....He wants what is best for us. We make bad choices because we are tempted and deceived by satan. We give in because we have a sinful nature (from satan) and free will (from God) to make our own choices. God does not want us to be puppets, he wants us to make our own choices. Where we fail is when we are tempted we rely on our own self to make the choice instead of going to God about everything. God will show us the way if we seek Him!!

He planned good for us....
"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. "
Ephesians 2:10, NLT
God did not plan for us to struggle with food and weight issues. These things are a scheme of the enemy.... to tempt us unmercifully until we give in and over indulge in the sinful pleasures of food.... and then to condemn us for giving in and over eating making us feel even worse about ourselves.
God is loving and forgiving and would never plan such destruction in our lives. We need to learn to forgive for the momentary lapse of indulgence and move on in our lives to seek what is good and healthy.
