Trying to be Fit

I have a friend who’s a licensed Medical Doctor. She just passed the board exams a few years back. But about a year after that, she told me that she’s taking a course as a Medical transcriptionist. I wonder why she’s interested in medical transcription. I mean, she can just practice to be a Doctor. But maybe then it’s needed in her field. Or she wants a career that is in tune with her body mind spirit. I don’t know. It sure is tough to be in the medical field. I’m sure I can’t cope with the stresses and hassles in that career, I’d rather just play the hospital game.

If you’ve heard about the Atkins diet, you must be thinking that I’m on another fad diet again and will end up in breaking this plan in the future. But you know what, this time I’m not aiming it to be a so-called short term diet but I’m planning to do it for a long time.

The diet that I’ve been doing on and off for the past month ( Mayo Clinic) is just a short term diet and can’t be done long term because of the very limited choices of food. I also had this mind set before that I would just diet for 12 days, lose weight and then go back to my normal way of eating. So, I guess this is the part that I failed. Because I always go back to my normal eating habits, I always end up gaining back the weight I lost.

I’ve already been doing a lot of research on Atkins and the Harcombe diet but it seems that I’m more convinced that Atkins will work better for me. I’ll have to share my reasons in my next post.

So for now, I’m an Atkins girl!

1 John 5:14
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.

‘God just doesn’t want me to lose weight!’ said Stephanie. ‘Each time I try, I fail. If God really wants me to lose weight, He’d help me.’ Many people feel just like Stephanie. They think God isn’t helping them because they aren’t successful in their diets. The problem is that they want God to take the weight from them. That simply isn’t the way God works. Instead, we need to know that He will work through us to make us strong enough to face the challenges and trials that await us. We take heart in knowing that God will not let us down and He will work with us all the way.

Today’s thought: God will grant me courage that will not run out!
