Perhaps the reason your journey is so prevalent in your mind is because you have prayed for HIS help to get you through it! I know for myself, my ability to always be conscious of what I eat, my healthy habits and exercise wasn't all that it could be! I know I used to pray and pray that it would become easier, that something would click and it wouldn't always be so hard for me to MAKE myself do or think about these things anymore.

Then, finally! As if something DID just finally click, I found myself ABLE to stay on track most of the time, to get right back on it when I fell off. I used to beat myself up emotionally when I slipped up, and suddenly I heard myself saying positive affirmations, hearing HIS words of wisdom, hope and comfort, telling me I could do this, I was worth it, it was all going to be okay and that I was going to succeed.

Certainly we all have spiritual, and otherwise just as important goals and aspirations besides being healthy and getting fit, but these bodies we are given are a gift from God and taking care of them, getting them healthy enough to be around long enough to do good, to be good, that surely is a blessing in itself and not something to be taken lightly! You are taking care of the best thing God gave you besides your faith, and perhaps having such an emotional, serious and committed outlook on your journey is God allowing you to do so! Just my two cents. I love that scripture! I'm adding that to my daily!
