Made To Crave, Week Two:
DETERMINATION
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert."
- 1 Peter 5:-7-8
This week we took a look into Chapters 4-6 of Made To Crave. (If you missed my Week One Review, you can find it here.)
When you are in the middle of weight-loss, does it make you feel more goal-oriented, or self conscious when you have a friend, co-worker, etc. experiencing losing weight and finding a new, healthier life?
In my own personal trials, it has burst my bubble more times than energized me. I have a flaw that lets me look at other women and see what I "wish I had that she does" and let that get me down and out. If I hear of a friend losing weight, I'm immediately happy for her but then I start to wonder why it isn't ME that is losing that kind of weight.
That is a nasty habit of mine, that will need some work (and lots of prayer!) to break.
BUT, with that said, I would LOVE to have a friend start the journey with me. It absoultely makes a huge difference in having a person you have to "report" to besides yourself. I can lie to myself and go on, but to tell my work-out buddy that I had that piece of cake at 3AM is a walk of shame.
