Praise God for enabling us to continue our healthy eating (and my weight loss)

You know, I've tried (and failed) time and again to eat healthier and lose weight. It was all about me though, and though it's hard to admit it, I never fully gave it over to God and asked him to help in this endeavor, and to do it to glorify God, and not myself. But from past experiences, I can never do it on my own. I know that. God knows that too. That's why I am so thankful that God is here to give me all the support and encouragement I will ever need, through the power of the Holy Spirit in me and through God's Word, the Bible. Another 1.5 lbs was shed from my body this week through God's strength. I started to say, "I lost 1.5 lbs this week" but it's not about me at all, it's about God. I just wanted to take the time here to praise God for helping our whole family to eat better so we can take better care of the bodies he gave us and be better able & ready to serve Him wherever he calls us to serve. Thank you God, and I praise you for the 14.5 lbs you've taken away from me over the past six weeks (and close to 20 lbs since Christmas) and without worrying about dieting and exercise, just trying to make healthier food choices and use my body more for what you created it for. God, you are awesome, and I praise you for that!
