[QUOTE="BeautyfromaThistle, post: 69158233, member: 384098"] I have always understood perfectly from Romans 12:1 that I should offer up my body to the Lord as a living sacrifice. I've just been unable to sustain my efforts in the past. In the summer of 2014 I was very fit (for me). Then for no apparent reason i started eating like it was going out of style! I soon stopped exercising, and now I'm a weak lump who has packed on 30 pounds! I prayed for a real desire of the heart to glorify God physically and to be a good steward of my body. I have stopped eating sugar (except in fruit), and have been limiting my portion size at meals. I am also trying to avoid things that are obviously junk. For myself, I just want to be decently fit. I don't have to be the most sculpted 56-year-old on the block! But I'd like to be able to go hiking next summer. I'm going great guns--I've made it all the way up to [I]two whole days![/I] ^_^ I need prayer from you guys for real resolve and continued desire to please God this way--plus a genuine appreciation for exercise. I do not enjoy the process in any way. I am praying for a change of heart, and I hope you will pray with me, too. [/QUOTE]
