Every person that has been on a weight loss journey will experience the dreaded and inevitable PLATEAU. You’re on this journey and excited because what hadn’t been working before seems to now be working for you! Look at these results I’m getting is what you’re thinking, standing in the mirror all day and trying on clothes that you haven’t seen or have been avoiding for the last 15 years. Everything seems to be playing out to be a fairytale until boom! You hit your plateau or pause in seeing the results you were once seeing.
You start to think why is this happening to me? Why am I working so hard and not seeing results anymore? There will be ups and downs, ebbs and flows. The one thing for certain about a weight-loss journey is it is a process that God is in control of. Psalm 37:23 says “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.” Truly God is ordering your steps. Sometimes that pause in your weight-loss is to push you to Him. This would be a great time to fast and pray. Literally turning over your plate to hear from the Lord himself about your next steps.
During my weight-loss journey I was intentional about including God. I literally prayed and asked about everything. I gathered the strength I needed during my plateau to go the extra mile. Just remember, a plateau is not a quitting season; it’s a gathering season. Check out 14 Simple Ways to Break Through a Weight Loss Plateau https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/weight-loss-plateau.
Say this prayer today:
Dear Lord, it’s me again and I am humbly asking you to speak to me during this process. This plateau is not something I expected, but I know you’re in the middle even of this. Help me refocus on you and the things that really matter in life. My steps are ordered by you. I’m up for the challenge if you join me in the process. Your strength is made perfect in my weakness dear Lord. Give me your strength to break barriers on today and push me through this process.
