"I designed you to live in union with Me. This union does not negate who you are; it actually makes you more fully yourself. When you try to live independently of Me, you experience emptiness and dissatisfaction. You may gain the whole world and yet lose everything that really counts.

Find fulfillment through living close to Me, yielding to My purposes for you. Though I may lead you along paths that feel alien to you, trust that I know what I am doing. If you follow Me wholeheartedly, you will discover facets of yourself that were previously hidden. I know you intimately - far better than you know yourself. In union with Me, you are complete. In closeness to Me, you are transformed more and more into the one I designed you to be.

Mark 8:36; Ps 139:13-16; 2 Cor 3:17-18"

How can I relate this to my weight loss journey?

I have to trust that God knows what He is doing with putting me on this journey. He knows what I can handle and what I can't. I know I have discovered things about myself that I would of never thought. I am also learning to be closer to him in this time too.

"Good Morning Father. Draw me close to you. May you have Your will in me through this process. I love you Father, In Jesus Name Amen."
