Today the book talked about whether it is the right time or not for me to diet. There are certain times when you will not be successful, and then certain times when you need to just ch-ch-choose to do it. Ok side note, ever since the whole "choose to" vs. "have to" I've had the "I ch-ch-choose you" phrase stuck in my head. You know the phrase from the kids valentines with the train on it? Haha I love it.
Anyway, timing is a big factor. Major life issues (divorce, moving, etc.) not a good time to diet. I would include being sick too :) "Is something in life demanding a huge amount of time and energy right now?" Then you probably don't have the energy to plan and to diet. Hold off, and start when the timing is right.
If you're just living your life and it seems busy and full, it doesn't necessarily mean it's not the right time. And the book says it's ok if you decide that losing weight isn't on the top of your priority list even when you do have time. It has to become important to you. This year, losing weight and being healthy has become really important to me. All the years before, it was like "meh" but I really have sensed a change in attitude, motivation, and purpose this year. Timing is everything.
Still reading in Hebrews. Chapter 5 was short and I don't have much to say on it :)
