The Night Lie, Part II

Yesterday, we discussed the Night Lie and the pressure that can come on suddenly in the evening to take care of yourself and fall for whatever temptation is put before you. Don’t fall for this pressure lie, whatever it is: you will not see the food again, you must eat before anyone sees you, you might not get this chance again, etc. You must say “no”...

A Menu of God’s Work…

Biggest Tip: Invite God

Yes, I have just a couple more tips to keep in mind as you approach family meals this week. We covered a few things yesterday, but what should you do if you are simply NOT physically hungry when the holiday meal is served? Just fix your plate, cover it, and set it aside for later.

Not This Year

Did the "old you" eat with abandon at office parties, special family meals, holiday get-togethers, and of course all those treats that are fun to make at this time of year – only to grieve later over the rising scale? Not this year! Starting today,...

Ending the Cycle by Stopping the Gimmicks

God is using Weigh Down to bring His people back home. But it takes focus on that one thing, staying in His boundaries of hunger and fullness. The people who are losing weight are dropping the distractions, stopping the dieting and ending the gimmicks. They are waiting for true stomach hunger, and when it comes, they are getting what God is leading—no more gimmicks with the food or dieting...
