How My Faith is Helping Me Control My Eating
-It's not about will power, it's about surrender.
-I don't trust my flesh, so why should I eat what/when it wants me to eat.
-True saving faith works.
-Inward regeneration produces outward transformation.

My Eating Plan
Large high protein breakfast,
Medium high protein high high fiber lunch,
Small high protein, low carb (green carb only) low fiber dinner. With protein bars or shakes between each meal.
I have added a multi-vitamin and an antioxidant to my routine.

So glad you are facing this challenge head on. You have made tremendous progress. I wish you continued success. This post is very encouraging.
Way to go my brother! That is truly an awesome achievement. I pray that God will continue to help you in your struggle.
Pastor Fitts, your transformation is outstanding and inspiring. I too have been more aware of my weight and while I have not engaged in your eating plan, I have cut out a lot of sweets and sodas (I was addicted to Pepsi) and have seen some results, you are inspiring.

Congratulations on your before and after pictures, GOD is really going to continue Bless you for your honesty of where you once were and to where you want to go for Him.
Your spirit radiates all the way from where you sit to me, that’s power that we body of believers get to experience.
Pray for me and I will pray for you that the Lord gives us our heart desires.

Congratulations Pastor! Looks like you're doing great! Not only are you losing the weight but you are also developing a change in your eating habits that will help you to maintain.
I quit smoking 10 years ago in obedience to a command God gave me. Long story short. I was unable to quit on my own (had tried lots and lots of times). It took God to do it for me and He did as soon as I said yes to His command. I truely understood what it means to say He never gives a command that He does not enable us to keep.
Keep the Faith!
I rejoice in the testimony of what you and Sister Edie have acomplished through the power of God's call and faith to change. YOU LOOK GOOD!! I've got to do better. This is truly inspirational. Keep up the good work.
I guess you CAN do something else besides preach and being my most mischievous blog son (lol).
Thanks for the birthday wishes. I have read all my comments over and over again. Thanks for sharing. Remain encouraged.

Way to go Pastor, your post is both encouraging and challenging thank you for being transparent. Keep up the good work.
To Mr. Fitts
The obesity is competing to become the major killer in today's world. What we lack is some labor-oriented work at home or office. The young generation lacks the will and desire to engage themselves in such work. And for the diet habits, lesser said would be better.

Keep laying it aside Fitts. Very encouraging post and I know you feel soo much better.
May your weight loss provide more energy for kingdom work.
To God be the glory.
Be Encouraged.

WOW, absolutely incredible. I'm happy for you. I have to admit that my struggle has always been fear of gaining weight. I look still look at people enjoying their food and I say I wish I could eat that but I don't. I don't where that plays a role into my past but I'm sure somewhere back there I wash brainwashed. Now that I'm much older, I try to let got of the being fat fear and eat things I like in moderation. You have added years onto your life and I know that will make your family very happy. I'm so proud of you for doing it the "right" way because there is someone out there that will confide in you and want you to help them in the weight loss struggle. Thanks for sharing your story.
Peace and continued blessings!
YOU look fantastic!!
Even the way you are teaching yourself of the old habits into new habits is just awesome. We all can learn from you on this subject! But I know you surrendered to your Lord, and he heard your crys. Amen!!
Keep up the great job, and looking forward to seeing and hearing more of your results.
You are so blessed to be a blessing to others.
Have a terrific week, and thank you for the visit. :)

Pastor I'm so proud of you that you stuck it out with the plan you that you start on. I know that when I read your frist write up on your struggle that I sent you a comment that I also would start it and I did. But something happen and took me off my course and it so hard to get back on. My will power has gone down and I have no strenght of try to get back on track is hard. I have gotten depressed and my body feel drained that the engery has left me. So pray for me to get thru this depression that I'm going thru seem like I can't even pray right, with in the last week or so I'm just numb inside like the life is being suck off of me. So please pray for me that my life my move forward instead of backward like it's going right now. I know you talk with me and ask me to do somethings but mind just won't process the information for me to do what you ask right now. I guess because I am so angry inside and hurt that it's hard for me to move forward and I pray but it's seem like the word don't come out right are I can't find the words to say so I just break down and cry for God to help me. So please pray for me, I really need it at this time and for everyone else to pray for me too. But I need to tell you that you are such and inspiration in my life and I just needed to tell you that. It seem like you always know when there is something not going right with me and you are there to give me words of wisdom. So please pray that I can except the words that you have given me and try hard to do it. I hope this makes since to you.
Doc,
You are inspiring me to start again!
That is great on your weight loss. God is good!

Hi Pastor Fitts,
Thank you for your visit today, I normally blog twice a week Sunday for Spiritual sundays, and on Thursdays. I used to blog more, but between Family, ministry, and work, I had to use wisdom in how my time was spent *smile*. You are more than welcome to use the post "Don't Give Up" pass the encouragement and blessing on..that is what it's all about!!. My husband was also going through a weight issue struggle, and like you he is starting to eat right, he gave up his favorite soft drinks, and has started walking throughout the week!! Keep up the good work, I'm cheering my husband and you on.
Blessings Lorie

I look forward to reading and learning from your posts.
