My wife started weightwatcher and so I decided to do it with her to help support her. I started out great. Ate what I was supposed to eat and lost weight fairly quickly. Then I got sick and decided I was not going to track my weight during this time period. I am sure I put on some weight, but I could not tell you how much.
After I started monitoring what I was eating again, I somehow managed to put on weight. I think part of the problem is that I wanted my cake and I wanted to eat it so to speak. I realized that I could basically cheat. I could not track something, I could choose a lower point item when there was a higher point option, I could use what was present knowing that it was probably worth more points than what was listed.
Who was I lying too? The answer is simple, myself. Of course you could also say God. I need to decide is this something I want to do or i don’t
It is kind of like deciding to accept Jesus Christ and following His way or not. Christ does not need you, but we need Him. I can choose to follow God’s path or not. I could be a nice person or not. I could reach out into my community and introduce them to Christ or not. The choice has been and always be ours, it is called “Freewill”. What will you do?
