So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
Can I Be Honest With You? After 5 days of fasting, I have to admit I expected to get on the scale tonight and see a change. In my mind at least, my clothes were getting looser. I had a little extra pep in my step. So...maybe I would see 5 pounds lost? Maybe 3 pounds lost; okay, how about 1 down lost? I step on the scale and look down... 2 pounds up! You have to be kidding me. Something must be wrong with this scale. Maybe if I take my shoes off. 2 pounds up! I see the problem. Let me take off my shirt and my socks. 2 pounds up! Something must be wrong with this scale. I am fasting. I am exercising. Well, I am not really exercising; but I have been running to the bathroom a lot. Does that count as exercise?
Now, don’t start with me. I know the fast is not about weight loss. The fast is about honoring God for the New Year and seeking God’s direction and vision. But, let’s be real. We all could afford to lose a few pounds after the holidays.What would they do on the Biggest Loser? What would Jillian say? I got it. THE LAST CHANCE WORKOUT! I forgot to do the LAST CHANCE WORKOUT...FLUSH! Feet on the scale...and it reads... +1! OMG!
