TRUST

Trust is just a five letter word, easy to say, hard to act upon! Where do you put your trust?

First and foremost I put my trust in the Lord! With that trust in God, I truly believe he designed our bodies to know what we need and to trust how we are feeling. Do you trust God when it comes to losing weight? Gaining weight? Eating what is right for your body? Not eating something? Choosing Healthy food?

In America, it is especially hard to do trust in this way. We are surrounded by options good and bad. Good ones are often more expensive and take getting used to. But trust your body to know what is good for it. The more you the trust the easier it will be! Learn how your body works. How you feel after eating certain foods (Good or Bad) Learn how you feel during your cycle when you are bloated and when you are feeling good. Learn when you are reaching for food out of emotion and when you reach out of Hunger.

For me I know if I eat too much salt or onions at lunch I feel sluggish the rest of the afternoon and often crave sugar. If I eat fruit and yogurt for lunch I stay awake in the afternoon and usually have a afternoon snack so I am not starved when I get home.

I have learned to start my day off with OATMEAL, because I will feel satisfied and full for hours, where if I have a smoothie it leaves me hungry in an hour or so...the exact opposite happens to my hubs. He has a smoothie every morning and cant stand the thought of Oats. Every body is made differently. Learn yours! Some need carbs, some need fat, some need meat... each person is different!

Trust your body because God created it exactly how it should be and you can learn and will learn with patience and practice what it needs and when it needs it.
