I realize that changing one's perspective one question at a time can lead to one solution at a time. For instance, I make plans over and over. The reason why is that I thought that it would help me to lose weight. The truth is, I have lost weight, and these are great plans. However, I have to change my perspective on how to formulate my plans. The answer is to take an inventory of what I have and to leave behind as well what is not good for me. I am at an age where I should know better. However, I have been stuck.
I complained all of the time when I realize that as a Christian, I have much to be thankful for. First and foremost, Jesus, the Son of God, is my Lord and Savior. As a believer in Christ, that is enough to be thankful for. I am also thankful for my health and my ability to come to Him for not only in times of need, but in times of thanks and praise. I write this because I don't have to remain where I am. I can make changes. For instance, I do consume way too much peanut butter and processed foods. I see only the whys and the hows. How do I change this and that? How do I develop the taste for something healthy? I don't wish to buy healthy foods only to not eat them, which is often what I do.
The answer is to take things slow and keep things simple. As I am writing this, I actually feel a sense of relief. I am finally free from all of the guilt and all of the "pain" that comes with being overwhelmed. I feel like everything that has overwhelmed me has finally been lifted off of me. I am now none the wiser.
