does god care if your overweight?

weight should not matter in our relationship with god. But it is written that gluttony is a sin. And that we are supposed to treat our bodies as a temple of the holy spirit. Would a real temple of the holy spirit be so weak to not be able to walk 1 mile to church without breathing heavy and wanting to die. Of course not, our bodies are our responsiblity to protect and care for. When I was overweight, I met a personal trainer and he helped me create a nutrition plan. It was the first time I had ever been overweight and didnt really know what to do. Years later I got certified to be a personal trainer myself. I really wanted to help my mom and my sister because they are overweight. But sadly they never really tapped me while I was working in the gym to use my new skills. But I helped other people at the gym and had some clients as long as 6 or 7 months a couple times a week. We need to learn how to eat, and how to move more often to create the body we want. If you want to be healthy and fit, I suggest reading books on health and fitness. I subscribe to mens health, and oxygen fitness. I also like the clean-eating book by reno tosca. And you can ask me questions and have me train you online at my website http://www.teambeachbody.com/senseironald

I have helped athletes with performance, and also helped other people to gain lean mass and be leaner and stronger. One of my girls was so happy cause she was getting compliments on her back when she wore dresses, and her snowboarding performance was improving. One of my softball players had noticed her throwing arm was getting stronger since she started with me. Jillian Michaels and Mark Verstegen have some good books and videos that can be bought as well.

Feel free to contact me if you want to talk to a NASM certified trainer. I also have a black belt in karate. I would be more than happy to help you rebuild that temple that your body was meant to be. God Bless, be fit, and please do tithe the money you would have spent on unhealthy food to your local parish, worship radio station, or nonprofit company that you love, so they can benefit from your newfound health.

But in a nutshell, move more than you eat every week and you will slowly but surely see the body you were always meant to have. And be patient, you did not put those pounds on in one week. So give yourself time to change to a more fit version of yourself.

When you go shopping for pants in a smaller waist size you will be excited. The other day I had to buy a new belt, because my old ones were just to big for me and dangled to the side of my leg. It made me happy. Clothes shopping is so much more fun when you are getting more and more fit and stronger. The image you had of yourself when you were the most fit, is how you are supposed to be. I dont blame obesity on sin, I believe it is caused by the advertising of low nutrition fast food, poor education when it comes to nutrition and exercise, and in part also laziness, or the person just gives up sits on their couch and watches tons of tv, with beer, chips, french fries, soda, and candy every night.

pray for discipline, making good choices with food, and persistence when it comes to more movement and exercise, and read books on exercise, the two magazines and the nutrition books I mentioned earlier are solid.
