Its the beginning of a new year and you don’t have to go far to hear words like goals, resolutions, and weight loss. At every turn at the grocery store isle are displays of diet foods guaranteeing a thinner you. We have made diet and exercise a multi billion dollar industry.

We fall for every fad that comes our way.

We want the easy way out.

We hope this time it works.

And sadly by the middle of January we feel defeated and weight loss eludes us.

What if all the secrets to being healthy and losing weight weren’t really all that elusive?  What if we could gain the right perspective on our body image? And what if we finally figured out what is propelling us towards those diet failures?

The bottom line is to lose weight we need to move more and eat less(and eat better, more whole foods to fuel for our bodies).  That’s it.  It’s that simple.

I know someone will read this and disagree.   We have fallen for so many lies that victory does not even seem possible to us anymore.

I believe we can take control of our minds and learn to take those thoughts of defeat captive.  When we renew our minds with God’s Word all things are possible.  Even weight loss.

So won’t you join me….stop buying into the next fad.  Buy the book.  Renew your mind.  Get healthy.  Be forever changed!

Grace to you all in 2012!
