How many times have you said that? How many times has "tomorrow" turned into next week, and the next and the next? How about stopping the cycle by starting now?

"But it's noon on Sunday," you might say. So, what! Your body will do what you tell it to do, and it can start changing its ways right now. It doesn't have to be Monday morning!

Your life will begin to change when you take the reigns and stop allowing your body to rule. Make a quality decision to begin today and stick to it. Pray to God to give you strength, and dig your heels in when it comes to your victory.

Now, you may have to rebuke the food in the name of Jesus. Even if it is pizza, and you can eat of them, look at that pizza and tell your body, "You'll not have it." Your body will kick against you and say,

"I want it, give it to me NOW!" Tell your body, "No!

In the name of Jesus, you will not have it!"

Remember that your body is a follower. It will send your mind all sorts of signals, but don't listen to self-destructive thoughts. Put down thoughts that don't agree with your plan. Don't give your body the lead position.

That's what happened to me and my diet. I'm about 5'8," and at one time I weighed 220 pounds. I didn't understand how I ever got fat! But the truth was that I was in denial! I wasn't counting the 14 gallons of gumbo and five pounds of rice. I didn't count the handfuls of snacks I ate all day long.

It seemed like somebody was always begging me to eat just one more little piece of cake. By the time I was finished, I'd eaten almost half a cake. If I ate less, I fooled myself into thinking it was alright...but less of junk food is still junk food.

For years, I made promises to God and to myself that I would lose weight "tomorrow." Finally, the Lord said, "You are lying like a dog, Jesse. You won't lose weight. You enjoy being fat." He was right. Man, every time I sat down my belly button would smile at me. I didn't like it, but not enough to quit overeating.

You see, some people make excuses for being overweight. They say, "I can't help it. My Mama is fat, my Daddy is fat and it's just natural that I'm fat."

No, what's natural is every time your elbow bends your mouth opens up. You may have learned their bad habits, but I will tell you this much—if they wire your jaw, you'll die skinny. You see, there is a difference between real hunger and an indulgent appetite. Appetite says, "I believe I'll have another few pieces of pie."

I told my body, "In the name of Jesus, you are shutting down. You are losing this weight!" My body had a fit. It wanted food. I saw a dog that looked like a pot roast to me.
