Your diet and weight loss struggles could be caused by the door you left open.

Posted by dannywy on February 23, 2012

Hi Y’all:)

Imagine your mind has two rooms.

In one room (door #1), is your spiritual mind.  Living in this room is Jesus.

In the other room (door #2) is your carnal mind.  Living in this room is the devil.

Only one door can be open at a time.

Whatever you’re doing, you are either using your carnal mind or spiritual mind.  You are in control, you hold the keys to each door.  You decide which door is open.

Let me ask you a question.  When you are a slave to temptation, constantly giving in to your base desires and feel totally hopeless, which door is open?

When you are calm, in control and have the power to destroy any temptation that comes to mind, which door is open?

Anyone who is a slave to temptation is operating almost exclusively out of the carnal mind.  If you constantly struggle with binge eating and over eating guess what?  Door #2 is left wide open almost all the time, allowing the enemy to have free rein over their life.

Door #1 is rarely opened, the spiritual mind and Jesus are kept behind a locked door.

Remember you are in control, you have the key to each door.  Jesus can help you but you must unlock the door and let him out.

How different would your life be if you kicked the devil in the butt all the way into his room and locked the door?

What if you left the door to your spiritual mind wide open and allowed Jesus to have free rein over your life?

Try becoming more aware of which door you have left open at any given point in time.

If you are allowing the enemy free rein, kick him back into his room and lock the door.

Walk over to door #1 and unlock it.  Open the door, look at Jesus smiling at you with those loving eyes and say, ” Come Lord Jesus, be my guest!”

Operate out of your spiritual mind and you can obliterate temptations, stop binge eating and over eating and achieve lasting weight loss!

God bless,

Daniel Wychor

How to stop being the devil’s door mat and win at dieting and weight loss or any area of life.

Posted by dannywy on January 19, 2012

Hi Y’all:)

Imagine someone coming at you with a baseball bat, getting ready to hit you…what would you do?

Most people would fall back in fear and throw up their arms, waiting for the blows to rain down on them.

What if instead you were taught to move toward the attacker, attack his weak spot and take him out before he could harm you?

Two radically different scenarios emerge, in one you are seriously hurt..in the other it is the attacker who endures the pain.

Many people approach dieting and weight loss in fear.  They are always reacting and in pain as the temptations to binge and over eat continually beat them down.

We all have the same God given ability and power to attack the problem of being over weight.  Instead of getting beat down again and again, we can win at dieting and weight loss once and for all.

Let me give you another analogy.

Imagine you were going to do battle with an enemy who was equipped with modern weapons.  In your arsenal you have the latest in weaponry, massive fire power, enough to obliterate the enemy but instead you decide to go into battle with.. a pea shooter and then wonder why you lost big.

Using your abilities to focus on God is your massive fire power.

Try this little exercise:

When the enemy comes to do battle (you’re tempted to binge or over eat),  ”stand still” and say, “God you are my protector, take the enemy out now!”

See in your mind the enemy getting blown away.

Feels pretty good doesn’t it?  Doesn’t it make you feel empowered to let God fight the battle for you?

This is not rocket science, we all have a choice;  

1) Remain the devil’s doormat and continue to endure the pain of  binging and over eating. 

or

2) When the battle with temptation begins..allow God to take him out!

 

God bless,

This belief could be your key to lasting diet and weight loss success.

Posted by dannywy on January 13, 2012

Hi Y’all:)

I feel there is one belief that one must adopt as absolute fact to achieve lasting success at dieting and weight loss..or lasting improvement in any area of life for that matter.

My body, mind and soul are on loan from God.

Why is that so important?

1) If you believe the Bible,  it is a fact.

2) People, as a general rule tend to take better care of  things they borrow from others than their own stuff.

Think about it, if you  stay at someone else’s house, do you tend to be less messy and treat it with more respect?

What about if you borrow someone else’s tools, car, clothes, etc.?

The Bible says we  are the temple of God and his Spirit is in us (1Corinthians 3:16), yet that fact seems to escape many Christians.

Let me ask you a simple question.  When you are in church do you do any of the following?

Binge and over eat, especially junk food?

Take drugs?

Get drunk?

Swear?

Smoke?

Of course not! You respect the church and believe God is present in the church when you worship.

Let me state this one more time..The Bible says we  are the temple of God and his Spirit is in us (1Corinthians 3:16). 

Each one of us is a temple of God, the Spirit is always in us.

If you bring that to the forefront of your daily thoughts do you think you might start taking better care of yourself?

Do you think it might help with dieting and weight loss by keeping you from binging and over eating as often?

Do you think it might help in other areas where you struggle to resist the temptation to abuse your body?

Do you think it’s worth a shot?

I have found by saying  ”My body, mind and soul are on loan from God,” throughout my day helps me do just that.

Please give it a try, you may be surprised at the results.

 

God bless,

Daniel Wychor

Whether you are like soft or hard concrete will determine if you can stop binging and over eating.

Posted by dannywy on January 10, 2012

Hi Y’all,

I was getting my car repaired today and went outside to make a call.  I was standing under a tree on the sidewalk when I noticed something interesting.

When the concrete for the sidewalk was freshly poured (about 10 years ago), a tiny leaf approximately an inch and a half long by half an inch wide had fallen on the concrete and left an impression.  I was amazed at the detail of the impression, along with the stem and complete outline I could even see the veins in the leaf that fell long ago.

While I was marveling at the impression, a nearly identical leaf from the same tree fell a few inches away.  Since the concrete is now hard, this little leaf made no mark whatsoever and blew away a few seconds later.

So what does this have to do with you and I?

When we operate out of our carnal mind we are like the soft concrete, any little thing can leave an impression on us.  In fact just like the soft concrete, there may be little events that happened years ago that have no bearing on our present lives, yet we still dwell on them as if they just happened.

It is when we are in this mode of thought that temptation can rear its ugly head and cause us to binge and over eat.  It can also stop any success one has had losing weight and pile the weight back on.

When we operate in the Spirit we are like the hard concrete.

Stuff will fall into our lives but it doesn’t affect us because we’ve learned to focus continually on our walk with God and cast the burden.  

Lasting weight loss becomes a foregone conclusion as temptation has no affect on the Spirit.

So the choice is simple:

1)  Operate out of the carnal mind, be like soft concrete and let every little thing make an impression, affect you and mess with your life and your weight…

OR

2)  Operate in the Spirit, be like hard concrete and let the stuff of life bounce off of you without leaving an impression, allowing you to become the person God intended.  

Many Christians spend most of their time operating in the carnal mind, hoping things will change when all they have to do to transform their lives is begin operating in the Spirit, WHICH IS ALREADY IN THEM!

When one learns to operate in the Spirit life takes on a whole new meaning.  It is then that one learns to live, REALLY LIVE and enjoy all the adventure, fun and mystery of life!

God bless,

How to stop binging on and over eating holiday treats.

Posted by dannywy on December 19, 2011

Hi All,

Suffering from holiday treat overload?  Are you full but still stuffing yourself?  Do you find your ability to resist temptation has gone out the window?

The following could help you get your holiday eating craziness under control.

First let me lay a little groundwork.

Remember in the Bible when the Isrealites gave offerings to God?

They were instructed to bring only the best to the temple;  the first fruits of the harvest and the best animals.

Guess what?  Your body is also a temple of God, the Spirit resides in you!

What if you thought of the food you eat as an offering to God that you are putting in his temple?

What if you practice present moment awareness, and before you eat, you think and say to yourself, “I am making an offering to God in his temple, I must bring only the best.”

Do you think junk food qualifies as “the best” you can bring?  If you thought and said this before you put anything in your mouth do you think you might start eating better and less?

Give it a try and you may be amazed at the results!

God bless, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year:)

How to develop a fearless faith and end the weight loss and diet roller coaster.

Posted by dannywy on November 9, 2011

Hi Y’all,

What is the difference between just knowing God loves you or knowing AND feeling his love deep within you?

I believe it is the difference between living a life of fear or living a life of fearless faith.

In Matthew 8:26 (King James Version)  Jesus said,  ”Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith.”  Based on this quote there is a direct correlation between fear and faith.

Having little or no faith opens one up to living a life of fear, where as having a lot of faith can lead one to live a fearless life.

So how can one develop a lot of faith?

One must FEEL God’s love deeply within themselves.

If you don’t feel God’s love deeply, below is a simple exercise that can help get you started.

Disclaimer:)  Only do this exercise when it is safe to do so!

Do the following exercise not as if you are watching it but literally reliving it.  You are experiencing the feelings as if you are right there right now.

Close your eyes and imagine a time in your past when you felt totally loved by someone.  It can be a child, parent, friend, sibling, spouse, other relative etc.

Experience the event again and feel those feelings of deep unconditional love, just as they happened the first time.

As you are reliving it and are truly experiencing the deep love again, add Jesus to the event.  See him in detail, from the color and texture of his clothes to every detail of his hair, face, eyes, smile, hands etc.

Once you have Jesus with you, I want you to see whoever is giving you this unconditional love standing next to Jesus.

As you continue to feel the love from this person, see this person merge into Jesus so now it’s only you and Jesus.  The love you were feeling from the person is now coming from Jesus.

Look into Jesus eyes and feel that love pour over you, allow yourself to really soak it in.

If you do this exercise it can be life transforming.  Your life can begin to change in ways you never thought possible.

So what does all this have to do with weight loss?

If you are struggling with your weight, I believe you are living in fear of food.  You feel you don’t control it, it controls you.  I believe lasting weight loss is impossible until one is rid of this fear.

As you develop a stronger, more powerful faith it becomes easier to cast the burden.  You begin to realize that living in fear is crazy, you are trying to do all the work yourself (and failing) instead of letting God do the heavy lifting for you.

As you learn to not only feel God’s love deeply but to also be aware of his presence throughout your day, guess what?

You’ve hit the jackpot!

That is when a life of fearless faith really kicks in.

God bless,

Danny

Are your beliefs cancelling out your prayers?

Posted by dannywy on September 21, 2011

Hi All,

The Bible is pretty specific on how to change anything in your life;  ask, believe,  receive.  Notice it doesn’t say ask, receive;  it says ask, believe, receive.

Receiving comes after believing, which means what you believe will determine what you receive.

If your beliefs are in line with what you are asking for, you are in good shape, if not you have a serious problem.

Let’s take the example of weight loss.

I know of many people who pray to God to help them lose weight.  I have also heard some of these same people say as you get older you are supposed to gain weight.

Do you see the problem here?  They believe they are suppose to gain weight as they get older, yet they are praying that God help them lose weight.  Is that crazy or what?

They base their belief on studies they’ve seen (probably done by over weight researchers trying to justify their own weight gain) that say because your metabolism slows you are suppose to gain weight as you age.

Yet you can walk down just about any street and see elderly people who are not over weight.

Your life is driven by your beliefs.  If you don’t like the road you are headed down, change your beliefs and you can change to a different road.

For every person who believes they can’t do something,  you can find another person who has already done it because they believed they could.

So ask, make sure your beliefs are in line with what you are asking for…and get ready to receive!

God bless,

Danny

How seeing through God’s eyes helps dieting and weight loss.

Posted by dannywy on September 16, 2011

Hi Ya’ll,

God made you in his image, what if you started acting like it?

What if your eyes were God’s eyes?  What if you started looking at things like he does?

God doesn’t focus on our faults, he knows we are weak and need him.

God sees us for what we can become, what we could really be if we put to use the abilities he has given us.

How much more empowered would you feel each day if you started looking at life through God’s eyes?

What if instead of focusing on obstacles and letting your mortal doubts and fears take hold,  you instead saw clearly an  open path to your goals?

Stuff will happen but as you look through God’s eyes your perception changes.

Instead of letting things get to you, you shake them off as a minor inconvenience and stay focused on the goal.

Let me give you a little example.

Whenever I feel a little frustrated I like to step outside and look at a tree.  I think to myself, “God made the tree to grow, he didn’t make it to worry about how much sun or rain it gets, it just grows!”

If a drought comes along, the tree is designed not to give up and die, but to sink its roots deeper and deeper into the ground until it finds water.

I have a favorite old saying, “Good timber does not grow with ease, the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees.”

So what does all this have to do with dieting and weight loss?

When you look through God’s eyes a calmness and focus comes over you.

The temptation to binge and over eat don’t affect you like it did in the past because the anxiousness is gone.  When you do eat a little more than you should, you recognize what happened for what it is (without getting upset) and move on, more focused than you were before.

I mentioned earlier that God sees us for what we  can become?  What if you started seeing yourself that way?  What if every time you look in a mirror, instead of seeing yourself as you are now,  you see yourself with your temple revealed?

Start the habit today of looking at life through God’s eyes and your life can transform in ways you never thought possible!

God bless,

Danny

Tithe your fat to God and jump start your dieting and weight loss.

	
   Posted by  dannywy  on    September 9, 2011    
	    



    
Hi Y’all,


We hear ministers and priests talk all the time about the importance of tithing, usually they are talking about money.


The thought of tithing signals to your mind that you have more than enough and it makes you feel good. Tithing something other than money can also give you that feeling.


I was watching Kenneth Copeland this morning and he talked about giving anything to get tithing started, even a button or shoelace.


What if you approached losing weight as tithing?


What if you decided to honor God and reveal the temple he has loaned you by tithing your excess fat to God?


Would you be less likely to binge and over eat if you were committed to tithing your excess fat? 


Could it make a difference when you are tempted to eat junk food?


Do you think God would be proud of the example you’d set for other Christians if you got them to also jump on the fat tithing bandwagon?


If you need to jump start your dieting and weight loss why not give it a try?


God bless,


Danny

Has dieting and weight loss made you lusty, rusty or dusty?

	
   Posted by  dannywy  on    September 7, 2011    
	    



    
Hi Y’all,


Are you lusty, rusty, or dusty?


I was watching Pastor John Hagee on TV today and he was giving a sermon on the stages of marriage.  He referred to them as lusty, rusty, and dusty.


I realized as I was watching that those terms also apply to the physical body for many people.


The lusty stage is our youth when our temple is lean as God intended. Sadly many of today’s youth don’t get to experience this stage because of the poor eating habits my generation has given them.


The rusty stage is the mid 20′s, through the 30′s and 40′s.  This is when many begin to cover up their temple with fat and are trying desperately to return the lusty stage. They may succeed for short periods of time but because they haven’t dealt with the real cause of the weight gain the fat returns.


The dusty stage is the 50′s and beyond. This is the stage where many people have given up any hope of ever returning to the lusty stage.  They are literally dead to the idea of regaining the look of the temple of their youth. They have given up on the body in this life and from a physical stand point are dead man/woman walking.  I had one person at this stage say to me, “You are supposed to gain weight as you get older.”  Tell that to the people who have lived into their 90′s and 100′s who have basically stayed the same weight their entire lives.


God gives us all a choice. When we learn to focus on him instead of food before and while we are eating, our eyes are opened and we can return to the temple of our youth (depending on what your temple was like then, maybe even better:)


Do you believe you have a choice?  When I and many I have helped around the world realized we did everything changed.


It’s not where you start but where you finish. It is possible to go from dusty or rusty to lusty.


Simply believe, focus on God and use the abilities he has given you and you too can reveal the temple of your youth!


God bless,


Danny
