The Wise and Foolish
Builder Luke 6:46-49
Have you
ever thought of your body as a house? We are to treat ourselves with great
care and respect as this is the only "home" we will have here on earth.
Yet, the majority of us mistreat, abuse, and take totally for granted our
homes. We expect good health, stamina, energy to perform any task,
mental or physical, and long life, no matter how we abuse
ourselves. And we're so surprised and disappointed when the opposite
happens. 80% of our doctor visits are avoidable!
During my initial
consultations, I parallel the
Victory Weight Loss
Program with
building a house. The reducing phase is the foundation. The more we learn
about and implement what our body needs both nutritionally and emotionally,
the firmer and more reliable the foundation. The destructive yo-yo syndrome
can stop! We have second chances--thank the Lord--to rebuild properly. But
it takes hard work and dedication to undo years of bad habits and bodily
destruction. Yet it is doable through God's help. He puts people in our
path so we don't have to "do it on our own." That's where
Victory
comes into the
picture. Our goal is to help you build that solid rock foundation of
healthy eating behavior. What good is a foundation without putting up four
brick walls? Stabilizing properly after reaching goal assures
solid walls that won't crumble. And finally by securing your home with
a water-tight maintenance roof, you can fight any temptation Satan
sends your way--anytime.
To maintain the
healthful status your mind and body have achieved requires diligence and
discipline. The roof must be checked regularly for weak spots and repaired
immediately while it is just a spot and not a gaping hole. Weekly visits to
the Center help catch and repair those weak spots easily! Two to four
pounds are much easier to lose than 10 or 20 pounds! Keeping your house in
good repair pays great rewards yesterday, today, and forever!
If you are saying
to yourself right now, "I'm so embarrassed, I've been so foolish and
regained my weight again--I can't go back." STOP! We've all been
given numerous second chances. Come back again (for the last time) or come
to us for the first time. You can and will be victorious with your new
attitude about food and yourself. Stand up and fight back--kick and trample
Satan. Remember, diets are only temporary fixes. We at Victory are
committed to helping you help yourself build a permanent, strong, and
healthy home!!
