"The way we regard our treasure is a personal disclosure of who we are. The issue is: Where is our heart?" This was another tidbit from my personal devotional time recently that seemed appropriate for the weight loss journey that we are all on. Where is Your Heart? Are you a treasure?
Do you find it hard to keep your eye on the goal? Your heart set on the prize? Are you easily swayed by momentary weaknesses and daily cravings and bouts of laziness? I know that without my Inspiration Board, and reading it several times a week and following my meal plan and prepping for the coming week - I am as easily tempted by the human frailties as anyone else.
I try to make sure that I look at some portion, or even all of, my Inspiration Board 1-3 times a week. Along with that, I have a Pinterest page set up to collect motivational sayings and pictures and I find that a glance thru there often helps refocus. I HAVE to menu plan and prep for the upcoming week each.and.every. week. OR I WILL FAIL! With a plan in place I am more likely to follow it. If you eat any meal by the "seat of your pants", then you approach that meal time HUNGRY and ready to eat anything. Having a plan in place will prevent this.
Changing our perspective, so that we view our own selves.... Our own body as a treasure, no matter the shape or size currently, will alter the way that we treat it. Take some time this week and begin to think about how you treat your items that are "treasures". Your own body is here for the long run. Treat it well! It's the only one you've got.
