Mourning

Read Jeremiah 16-18

Jeremiah 16:5 "For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even lovingkindness and mercies."

There is a reason why we have not been able to lose weight before now. The reasons aren’t limited to diet and exercise program failures.

Backwards though it may seem, our fat protects us. We might not want to be noticed or we might be afraid to try something and we can stay hidden or have an excuse if we stay fat.

So we may need to face the loss of our protection and excuses and allow ourselves to mourn the old life and the old weight. Then we will be able to embrace a new and thinner life.
