I had a physical last week. That evening I bought a new scale.
However, I realized that:
- It’s time for me to regularly evaluate issues with my body.
- It’s time for me to get back in the groove of exercising regularly and consistently.
- It’s time for me to make those important doctor’s appointments to help me live a more healthy lifestyle.
What’s my biggest issue?
In the words of comedian Jim Gaffigan, “These aren’t skinny jeans, I’m just fat.”
In other words, I’m overweight, obese, stout, full-figured, corpulent, pudgy, flabby, rotund, paunchy, fleshy, and well upholstered. In layman’s terms, I’m fat. I may not be grossly overweight, but I’m still fat, like 8 and 10 other adults in the Greater New Orleans area.
But, it’s time to put a stop to it.
This past week, I kept reading and kept being convicted by
1 Corinthians 6:19-20. In it, Paul writes,
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?
Therefore honor God with your body.”
That means I’m going to honor God with how I take care of this body that He gave me. It means I’m going to honor Him with what I eat, what I drink, how I exercise, how I rest, and how I visit health care professionals.
Who’s with me?

I’m with you!!! Let’s do it!
Good for you, John! Honesty is the first step towards change. It’s what helped me get off of drugs and finally stop smoking and care for the temple He entrusted me with. After all, we are a house for Him and we should honor Him by giving Him a good house to live in!
Very well said, Cathy. I hope you are doing well. Praying for you often.
