He is true to His word of trying Him and testing Him to see if He will not pour you out a blessing you will not have room for.
God is good in spite of it all, God is good. My health is on track, I am losing weight in a fast yet safe way, and I am learning so much about the junk we put in our bodies on a daily basis. I have been on a regimen of core and strength training with some cardio in there as well. I have also been taking a combination of two African herbs that we well in our natural health business. That combination is Borututu and Gota Kola Teas and it helps to eliminate all the unnecessary waste from your body which usually results in a noticeable weight loss when you are a big girl like me.
I asked God to take away the taste of any ungodly foods and drinks from me and I tell you He will do it. Now when I even try drink a soda it taste like I am pouring straight sugar down my throat. I stopped drinking sodas almost a year ago, but every now and then I would get a caffeine free one to satisfy my desire for the bubbles. I have found a great sparkling water called LaCroix that comes in many flavors and I keep two 12 packs in my home when our budget allows. It satisfies my need for the fizz.
I have anxiety disorder so it was very important for me to stop drinking and eating foods with caffeine. I am a chocolate expert and love it in all kind of ways. So when I found out I had to cleanse my system of it, I was devastated. My heart lose a love notch because it was so sad. I had to really pray for my chocolate craving to be released from me. It took a while and some detoxing, but praise God I am able to look at and smell chocolate without salivating at the mouth.
I prayed for more energy to get up and exercise and He led me to a combination of honey and cider vinegar and it is energizing. I am also eating a lot more fresh veggies with all the new basically fat free dressings I have been creating. Peppermint Tea is also good for energy as is the essential oil. One sniff of the peppermint and your energy and memory are refreshed.
I actually want to get up and exercise now and that has not happened to me in some years. I even exercise at my desk. This morning I stretched while my computer got started and while I waited for my tea to get ready. I try to get up to work out with Denise Austin, but I just can't seem to get it all together by the time she comes on. That is when I utilize my knowledge of exercise that I learned back in the 90s when I was an exercise junkie. Now that is a habit worth keeping!
My goal weight is 165lbs and I know that God will get me there because...Well...He's just good like that. I will keep you updated on my progress.

It is so very true that He will remove the cravings if we place them in His hands. Last year I went through Setting Captives Free and was amazed to find that even though I wasn't overweight I was idolizing food and that He alone could help me stop. Wonderful how He goes about it. Praying that He continues to help you.
