Weight, calories, numbers, blah blah blah. That alone is an obsession! As women we want to always look good; and when we don't we either starve ourselves or we stuff ourselves.
Over the years, weight can steadily creep up on you. Sometimes its even spiritual weight. Spiritual weight is more emotional. Me and my sisters have had that and when we acknowledged the load we carried(like fear or guilt) and talked to God about it. Then the weight came off more easily.
All over the world, but mostly in America, our beauty and worth is in the size of pants you fit, the number on the scale, how healthy you can eat, etc. That is not who you are, but if the Doctor tells you to lose weight because your life is at risk or if God even tells you to shed some pounds, you need to take that seriously.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
You are beautiful. Yes I'm talking about the outside! God made all woman lovely. That is what women are, beautiful! So, it's good to take care of yourselves. If you are God's temple you need to remember that you are valuable. Treat your self as such, dear precious princess.
