"LIVE-IT
NOT DIE-T"
"LIVE-IT
NOT DIET" IS THE MAIN THEME OF MY LIFE.
Nobody
wants to diet when the letters "D","I" "E"
are
right in it! I say, eat from love, peace and joy, instead of discouragement,
depression and fear. I don't even want any deprevation.
Remember: IT ISN"T WHAT YOU EAT THAT GETS YOU TROUBLE, ITS WHAT YOU ALLOW TO EAT YOU!
To illustrate what I mean this is a song I wrote called
"Live-It Not Die-t"
I'm
on the live-it program, no diet for me,
I'm
on the live-it program, since God has set me free,
I'm
on the live-it program, He is my victory,
I'm
eating from the banquet of the Lord.
I'm
eating love, peace and joy, forevermore,
I'm
eating love, peace and joy, thats for sure,
I'm
eating love, peace and joy, forevermore,
I'm
eating from the banquet of the Lord.
I'm
not eating discouragement, depression and fear,
I'm
not eating deprevation for He is near,
I'm
not eating pain and sorrow for He is my stay,
I'm
eating from the banquet of the Lord.
I'm
eating from the banquet of the Lord,
I'm
eating from His life forevermore,
I'm
eating, love, peace and joy, forevermore,
I'm
eating from the banquet of the Lord.

This is my story and how I changed my life by quitting dieting. I weighed 242lbs back in 1992. I tried various diet programs to lose the weight. Some would work for a short while but sooner or later my weight would come back and even add more on. I struggled with a loss of self esteem and wished I had more will power to control my eating habits. Does that sound familiar to alot of you!
One night I was depressed so I went to the refrigerator and took out the half gallon of ice-cream and proceeded to eat the whole half gallon without even putting it in a dish. I ate the whole thing and the next day I went to the health club I go to and with much intrepedation I got on the weight scales expecting the worst. When I looked, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had lost 2 lbs from the day before. Unbelieveable. I said thats impossible. That is when I heard a voice say to me, "LIVE-IT NOT DIE-T". You have no control over your habit and without me you cannot change nor would I expect you too. lol. Don't worry about what you eat, if you eat it and enjoy it, I've found your body will metabolize it, if you eat it and worry about it, what you've eaten, then your body will paralize your metabolism and no matter if you eat Non-Fat Food it will turn it all to fat because your body is passive-aggressive.
What
God told me to do was visualize a car with a dead battery and just
as you get a live battery to jump start the dead battery that is what God
wants to do for you. He told me to take HIS jumper cables and hook them
up to the fatest part of my body and ask HIM to "jump-start" it.
IT
WORKED!!!!!!! Within three months I was back down to a weight of 208 and
now maintain a weight of about 200 to 205.
I
hope my experience will encourage and help you to reach and maintain the
goals you set for yourself. Remember it is a lifestyle and NOT a diet I
am talking about. Talk to me in chat about this or any thing else that
interests you. SEE YOU THERE.
