Updated Scripture List

As we believe God for deliverance from salt, fat and sugar in 2014 for weight loss success, these scriptures will empower your journey:
Meditate on these....2014 scriptures:
Hosea 4:1-6 (v-6) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Proverbs 2 (v 2-4) Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.  Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.
Proverbs 3 (13-16) Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left.
I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Psalms 37:30 Righteous chews on wisdom like a dog on a bone, rolls virtue around on his tongue. (MSG)
Romans 8:5-8  Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.  So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
Hebrews 11:1-6 (v.6) It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. (MSG)
2 Corinthians 5: 14-17 Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them. So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
Proverbs 12:1 To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction.
Galatians 5:17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
Galatians 2:20 My old self has been crucified with Christ.  It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I Corinthians 6:19-20   Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

I'll be adding on the scriptures each week while we are on this topic. You may also access the prayer calls connected to each of these scriptures on the Body Breakthru Facebook page.  You can download it to your computer or smartphone to listen to whenever you need them.

As we pray for wisdom, knowledge and understanding in regards to our health in 2014, let's educate ourselves on the realities also.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's hard to believe that another year has flown by!  It's Thanksgiving, a time to be grateful and thankful for all God has done for each of us on our weight loss journey's.  I am truly grateful for God enabling me to lose weight, keep it off, and now sow into your lives.  I thank God for each and every one of you.  I learn a lot from you as your Weight Loss Coach.  You are constantly challenging me to grow as well!  It's a win, win relationship.

I want to encourage you all to stay focused this holiday season on your goals.  We can often get distracted by just wanting to enjoy ourselves, but really we are setting ourselves up for disappointment at the weight we put back on.  If you stay focused, you can get a jump start on the New Year, and start ahead of your goals instead of behind.  Most importantly, you will build more self-control, commitment, and character.  Three important areas you must develop in to lose weight and keep it off!  

Thanksgiving Weight Loss Survival Tips:

• -Make a commitment to eat one plate of food.  Do NOT go back for seconds.
• -Do not take leftovers home.  Commit to preparing a healthy meal at home the next day or treating yourself to a healthy meal at a restaurant.
• -Eat a half portion of dessert and commit to exercising the following day to burn off any excess calories you ate above your calorie limit.
• -Take a healthy alternative item (like a veggie dish) to Thanksgiving dinner and fill up your plate with your dish and the healthier, lower calorie items first.  Eat smaller portions of the calorie dense foods like macaroni and cheese (anything with cheese), potato salad, dressing or stuffing, ham, sweet potato casserole and pie, cookies, cakes, and desserts.  
• -Eat turkey breast or chicken for your meat only without the skin.  It it is not available, choose to skip any other fatty meats.
• -Minimize portions of anything containing added sugar or fat (butter).
• -Limit bread portions.  Take a whole grain wheat bread as a side item.  Skip the butter, use a little olive oil for dipping.
• -Limit the extras:  cranberry sauce, salad dressing, barbeque sauce, ketchup, and definitely gravy.  Make your own fresh fruit topping instead like fresh cranberry spread or take a low cal dressing as an option for salad.
• -Drink water or seltzer water with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
• -Pray before you leave home to empower your weight loss journey and choices at Thanksgiving Day dinner.
• -Enjoy time with family versus focusing on food.  If you make better food choices, you won't be sluggish after dinner so you can really enjoy the festivities.

 Enjoy! ;-)
