HEAD OVER HIPS

WHAT COMES FIRST, YOUR HEAD OR HIPS?

The Scripture tell us “to be transformed by the renewing of our mind” (Rom. 12:2).

For real complete permanent change to take place, we must first change our mind.

Ninety percent of the people who join a gym, quit in the first ninety days. Ninety five percent of the people who lose weight gain it back and more.

When we use temporary change trying to achieve permanent results this is what happens. We go on a diet and lose weight, and then we go back to our normal eating patterns and gain the weight back. It should be common sense, but I know from experience that it’s not.

The key is the state of your mind. It’s not about the scale or how many inches you need to lose. It starts and finishes with the way we think.

I know people who have had surgery to limit how many calories they could consume and they lost drastic amounts of weight. But guess what? Within a couple of years their mind had over ruled their bodies and they gained their weight back and more.

It’s not surgery, exercise equipment, gym memberships or diet programs we need to be successful with weight loss. These things come into play later. But first, before we change the inches of our hips we must change our minds. HEAD BEFORE HIPS!
