You are going to need some help!!

One of the things that has become VERY apparent to me when it comes to loosing weight is that you are going to need some help. Well, as far as I am concerned… you are going to need to get it from a couple of different sources.

When I was going through the People Magazine Weight Loss Challenge, my wife was instrumental in helping me with all of the diet stuff that I needed to do and know about. That is not to say that if you are not married you might as well give up… not the case at all… it is just that you are going to need help from other sources.

I have written on this blog many times about the help that I got from other people in my fitness class. They were VERY helpful in keeping me motivated to do the things that I needed to do… show up for workouts, keep on track with my diet, stay active on the days that I was not working out.

Additionally, I asked for, and received a lot of help from God. I prayed a lot and he took care of me. Once again, its not that you should give up if you are not ready to ask for God’s help but I think it might be much easier. If you ask for God’s help, he will help you. Matthew 6:25-26 says: “For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for you life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barnes, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?”  The point being God will bless you and take care of you if you ask.

Lastly, surround yourself with people that will help you. Co-workers, friends, family members. Mark Twain once said, “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you fell that you, too, can become great.”

How about that- God and Mark Twain quoted in the same post.
