Happy Saturday!
Today has been a lazy start day.
The kids are gone for the weekend and I actually slept in this
morning! Just now got cleaned up after
my workout and it is after noon! Hubby
and I went on a date last night and we are going to go out again tonight! We
are taking advantage of the kids being at their aunt’s house for the
weekend. Before I know it, school will
be starting and a whole new routine for everyone will begin.
As I was reading Chapter 1 in “Made to Crave”, I
came across a verse of scripture that really hit me:
“’Everything is permissible’ – but not
everything is beneficial” (1 Corinthians 10:23).
God’s word here is so true. Christ’s sacrifice is the only thing we need
to ensure our eternity. So that
technically could that we can do whatever we want and as long as we believe we
can still go to heaven. However, His
word says that not everything is beneficial.
I instantly applied these words to food and the Weight Watchers
program. With Weight Watchers, I can eat
anything I want as long as I am within my 49 points for the day. So I could choose to eat candy bars, chips,
and ice cream as long as I had the points.
I may even lose weight for a while doing that. But would I really be making myself
healthier? NO! I am not saying that once
in a while I don’t splurge and spend 11 points on a mini chocolate xtreme
blizzard (so did that last night and it was soooooo worth it). But instead of eating that way every day, it
is now an occasional treat. And guess
what, I now enjoy those treats even more!
So even though it is okay according to my eating plan to have whatever I
want within my points, I have made the decision to use those points and make
healthier choices. Making healthier
choices helps me feel better and have much more energy, and the healthier foods
make me feel full longer than just a Reese’s Cup would!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I am excited about another date tonight and
hopefully I can sweet talk hubby into getting me a skinny vanilla latte at
Starbucks later! Cross your fingers for me!
Keep Losing,
Kari
