Ahh, weight loss. Take in fewer calories than you burn off. Easy enough SAID NO ONE EVER!!!
I am so struggling with what to do. I know in my head what it would take to lose weight. Heck, I’ve done it before. Right now I have MyFitnessPal, WW (weight watchers), BetterMe and a couple of other plans. I pay monthly for a gym membership but have yet to walk through the doors. BUT I AM STUMPED!!!
There is a plan that many people have been doing and having success on. It is called Optavia. It requires (to be successful) eating 5 of their products and 1 meal of a lean meat and 3 cups of vegetables. I know the plan is working for so many but will this be sustainable for me? Will I stick to eating only their products for the most part? It is pretty expensive each month and it is a lump sum each month. But, if I were to go on this plan I would not be eating out and therefore saving a lot of money from that.
WW (weight watchers) seems to be a good plan. You eat what you want you just have so many points per day to use. I have done well this week for breakfast and lunches. Dinner’s have not been good.
I was just telling Kayla, my coworker, that I wish God could sit in the chair across from me and say, “Join Optavia, it is the right program for you. You will be successful with my help. I will make sure you have the funds to stay on the program. You won’t miss eating out with your friends and family. You can still do that just make healthier on plan decisions.” or “stick with WW. It is a good plan and I will help you use it to it’s full potential. You will be successful with this plan with my help.”
I am such an overthinker. I have watched my entire life how I make decisions ahead of when I need to but then I hesitate on a lot of things because I am not sure if it is my will or God’s will for that plan. Am I making that decision based on the truth or my own desires?
Funny thing just happened as I am typing this. On the Optavia plan you can’t have fruit if you are doing the 5 and 1 plan. Jimmy, my boss, just walked into my office with a banana, (2) oranges and (1) apple. God, are you trying to tell me something? 🙂
Anyway, this is the latest in my should I or shouldn’t I situations. What are your thoughts?
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for who you are. Thank you for giving us the ability to choose. Lord, please work on my heart. Help me to not question everything so much that I miss out on what you have in store for me. Help me to make the decisions that will ultimately glorify You. I know you want the best for me but I also know You are not just going to give it to me. Could you, yes, but I know you ask something from each of us. Please make clear my path and help me to get healthy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
