No "Holy Grail" for weight loss.

There have been times in my life that I have stood in the grocery aisle, or health-food store, looking for answers. You might know that aisle too. It's the one with the brightly colored packages of bars, powders, and pills that supposedly offer quick weight loss. As I held a product and read its promise that fat would melt off my frame, a sense of comfort and control came over me. I declared that I had the "Holy Grail," and I would lose the weight and keep it off this time. Then, a month or so later, I threw it in the trash after the product didn't give me the results I desired. Discouraged yet still hoping to find "the product," I returned to the aisle again. I was like a person trying to find clean water in a muddy puddle. I had placed these products on a pedestal, and instead of trusting in God to help me lose weight, I trusted in these foods, pills, and powders.
There is no "Holy Grail" for weight loss, yet I'm not powerless. I have God, and He guides me to the foods that best fuel my body.
3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul."
Hey, thanks for the info Heather. It actually makes a lot of sense. Haven’t thought about that before. Looks like I’ll be adding a little salt and a little maple syrup!
A great all natural deodorant is made by Little Seed Farm. Honestly, it is the only natural deodorant that seems to actually work for me.
Great information Heather, I’ve been there too and just a side note for those gals (like me) who suffer sensitivities to chemicals, my savior was apple cider vinegar to “kill bacteria” after washing and then I used coconut oil rubbed in the pit area. I also added essential oils of lemongrass or geranium for a scent. The ACV was only as needed sometimes takes a few days to kill all bacteria causing smell and then daily with the coconut oil.
Thanks for sharing
Love this ❤️
We are definitely going to try out this recipe!
Great topic Heather! It's definitely one not talked about often and one that you just have to try to figure it out on your own, at least for me anyway.
