Think about the fruit of the Spirit

Think about the fruit of the Spirit:

Love: We need to love the body that God has given us. We need to love the diet we have chosen to be on.

Joy: We need to joyful about being on a diet, consider it as if you were doing it for the Lord, I'm going to glorify Jesus today in what I eat.

Peace: Are you at peace with your emotions? Is life peaceful around you? Do you feel God's peace within you?

Patience: Do you have the patience you need to lose the weight? Whether you have 20 pounds or 120 pounds to lose, it is going to take patience, you didn't wake up one morning overweight, you did it to yourself little by little, and it is going to come off little by little.

Kindness: Be kind to yourself, prepare good foods in appropriate quanities. Be kind to others around you, there is nothing worse than living around a miserable grumpy person on a diet who doesn't want to be on a diet.

Goodness: Buy good foods, give up buying the junk foods. Junk foods are expensive and do you no good whatsoever.

Gentleness: Be gentle with yourself. Spend some time making healthy menus, shopping for healthy foods, cooking good healthy meals.

Self Control: Self control comes from pratice, over and over telling yourself you will not give into favorite food indulges. You will learn to love the healthy foods. Just say no-thank-you.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11
