My Spirit is willing...My flesh isn't!

Mark 14:38 - Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

   More than anything I want to lose weight. I get myself focused for the day, then... I see food and my fleshly desires take over and I give in to them. I end up eating too much. This is a terrible offence against God. It is gluttony and a sin that must be conquered. How? Through the Word, prayer, and Watching for the temptation. I must decide before I even get out of bed that I will say "NO" to what is too much and not good. Sometimes I even practice saying this because it must be an automatic response to the wrong amounts of food. I have learned that if I give ANY thought to eating a little more I will not have the strength to "stop" getting more. My spirit is truly willing and ready, but my flesh isn't! It fights with me every step of the way! I MUST fight back.

My measurements remained the same as last week. Chest 64.5 - Waist 66
