Romans 7:15-16 (The Message)
14-16I can anticipate the response that is coming: "I know that all God's commands are spiritual, but I'm not. Isn't this also your experience?" Yes. I'm full of myself—after all, I've spent a long time in sin's prison. What I don't understand about myself is that I decide one way, but then I act another, doing things I absolutely despise. So if I can't be trusted to figure out what is best for myself and then do it, it becomes obvious that God's command is necessary.
Physically I am capable of doing anything, with training, of course, but what I mean is that I am a perfectly able bodied person. My arms, legs, and mind work great. So, why do I continue to go down this path of thinking I am OK with eating what I want to eat and not exercising? This is really more about getting healthy than getting skinny.
My friend and I are working on a motivational plan. That if we can fit into this really cute bathing suit by such and such a date then we will take ourselves some place to wear it. That's the basic plan right now, but it's a work in progress (as are we). We gotta do something.
