When The Scales Won't Budge: Tools For Weight Loss

A while back, actually a long while back, I shared with you my weightloss journey and how I lost 130 pounds! It was incredible to have shed so much weight and keep it off. I am not sure what happened or what changed but over the last year the 5-7 pounds weight fluctuation I gave myself stopped fluctuating and, in fact, increased to a 10 pound gain. This was frustrating and, honestly, it was depressing. All I would think about was the fact that I had worked so hard! I made so many life changes and it appeared my weight would continue to increase. Looking back at old pictures, I remember how miserable I was. I couldn’t participate in many activities because of my size. I missed out on so many things, and my anxiety and depression was increasing. I prayed. I called out to Jesus. Was I putting too much pressure on myself? What did Jesus want me to do?

I got my go-to books off the shelves, knocked the dust off, and started to go through them again. I refocused my devotions, continued praying and seeking the Lord’s will. I do not believe the Lord gave us so many wonderful foods so we could never enjoy them. Sadly, I think in order to maintain as low of a weight as I was, I was going to have to deny myself many of these foods. On the other hand, I also don’t think many of the foods we eat or believe that we need to eat, are necessary. I think the secret lies in the balance. Weight loss or not, I know I need to be healthy and eat healthily. However, I am NOT going to starve myself to do that. So what resources have I used that helped?

Books – Here is a list of books that have helped me on this journey:
