You are SO MUCH MORE than a number on a scale. It’s time to take an integrative approach.
One of the biggest reasons I see women fail in their weight loss or health efforts is by being too narrow minded in their approach. When you focus on losing weight or trying to be healthier and deal with nutrition and exercise alone, it yields only temporary results.
Understanding that to really CHANGE such a large part of ourselves must be dealt with an integrative approach. Being willing to make changes not only in the physical body, but more importantly in your mind, your thoughts, your emotions and your relationship with God.
“Jesus answered, “For it is written: ‘Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
If we begin examining ‘every word’ of God and use that as our compass for righteous and healthy living and allow it to permeate every part of our being, there is NO WAY we can exclude or single-out our health and physical body as just “one area” to make a change.
You must be using a whole mind + body approach for ultimate success.
I encourage you today to do some self-examination. Have you been treating your health or weight loss as a separate entity, separate from all the other areas of your life? Do you see how this is a flawed approach and will only warrant short term or partial results?
>> I encourage you to pray and journal and ask God how you can begin making changes not just in your physical body, but emotional, spiritual, mental and relational as well. For we are an amazingly integrated creation which deserves an equally integrative approach to health.

I love this! I just wrote about a similar topic on my blog; the motivation to live a healthier lifestyle must be rooted in so much more than just your desire to be thin and “beautiful” (whatever THAT means) …Jesus says we are already beautiful! I believe more people need to hear this and I LOVE that you included scripture in your post as well. Very beautifully written I am officially a fan!! =)
