Press On Toward Your Health Goal

Philippians 3:14 (NIV) says: "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

While this verse primarily speaks about our spiritual journey and eternal destination, it also provides a powerful framework for overcoming challenges in other areas of life, including healthy eating and recovery from overeating. Just like faith requires perseverance and trust in God's plan, so does the journey to better health.

It's important to remember that progress isn’t about perfection but persistence. When setbacks happen—whether it’s a binge or emotional eating episode—don’t dwell on them. Instead, press on toward the goal with grace, just as God extends His grace to us.

Healthy eating isn’t just about reaching a specific weight; it’s about transforming how we relate to food, overcoming compulsive behaviors, and honoring the bodies God has given us. Every small step forward brings you closer to a life of freedom and balance.

Here are a few ways to keep pressing on:

• Pray Daily: Ask God for strength to make mindful, healthy choices.

• Celebrate Progress: Even small victories are worth celebrating!

• Stay Accountable: Share your goals with a trusted friend or group.

• Refocus on Your Why: Keep your long-term vision in mind when things get tough.

I’m praying for you to stay encouraged and empowered on your journey toward recovery. Trust God and trust the process—He’s walking with you every step of the way!
