I'll just be honest and say that I kind of dread Weigh In Wednesday posts. I've only been putting in half effort. I haven't lost any weight. In fact, I've gained weight this week. When I think back to the late summer when I was being really diligent about counting calories and running and getting healthy, I try and remember what the "IT" factor was. What was my motivation?
This morning I ordered my thoughts and came to this conclusion: Is honoring God with my body enough motivation to make the right choices? Before, my motivation was getting healthy, feeling better, looking better, and being a better example for my kids. Obviously, those are not bad thing at all, but as I've said previously, if you aren't working towards a goal in a God honoring way, then you won't be successful. And ultimately, I wasn't. But this time, having a much different perspective (or at least trying to) I want to get healthy and be a good example because that's what God wants me to do and that's what he wants for me. Is what God wants enough to motivate me? Or is my selfishness more of a motivator than pleasing God?
