When you set out to lose weight or choose to live a disciplined lifestyle you'll find yourself having to make small choices throughout the day.
Will you drink water or soda?
Hand full of grapes or potato chips?
Take a walk or relax while browsing pinterest?

Some days you may find the willpower to make wise decisions but other days you may have the weight of the world on your shoulders and it seems impossible to muster up the strength to care about what you're putting in your mouth or whether you'll work out.
It's in those moments that I suggest having a friend or family member you can talk with.
There really has to be a balance with this because if you're like me struggling with the desire to over eat can be daily but there are certain times it's overwhelming and you really need a friend to talk you out of making a choice you'll regret later.
I was beyond grateful to pick up the phone and call my mother today and it was nice how she understood but also encourage me to keep plugging away. Her wisdom was needed when I lacked the desire to care.
Do you have someone like that? I hope you do.
Galatians 6:2Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (NIV)
Sometimes our load is heavy and we need a friend to come along and hold us together for a time until we are able to stand back up. There is nothing shameful about it. God intended for us to be in relationships and as we work through this struggle it's a blessing to have people that will lead us in the right direction.
Make sure to find your buddy!
Thinking of you :).
