Weight Loss Motivation: How I Lost 450 Pounds (And Kept It Off!)

The question Martin gets more than any other is “okay, but how did you really lose 450 pounds?” In today’s episode of Phoenix Chronicles, he answers that question. From his early adulthood to today, Martin has tried every diet under the sun, and has lost weight and gained weight over and over until eventually finding the method that helped him keep the weight off. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [0:00] Introduction [0:50] Martin came to weigh 650 pounds by eating whatever he wanted whenever he wanted for twenty years. He owned a pizza parlor chain and gained weight by eating pizza constantly while he was there. [4:30] Once Martin found out he had diabetes, he got scared. He knew he would not be capable of managing his diet. Martin’s wife suggested bariatric bypass surgery. [11:03] Eventually, Martin broke and surrendered his will to God. He was then able to tap into God’s willpower instead of his own and felt a sense of peace that was new to him. [15:09] If you want to lose weight effectively, you have to do so slowly. Online diets claiming to help you lose ten or fifteen or even twenty pounds in a week are not healthy or accurate. [16:43] When you partner with God, you can become comfortable with the wait and use his willpower to lose weight slowly overtime. [22:00] Martin began to worship more, particularly by singing worship songs and listening to worship music throughout the day. This helped keep him on task. He also memorized scripture and studied the Bible intensely.

Watch the NEWS: The Mental Component

Watch the NEWS: The Mental Component

Are your thoughts and worship aligned with your goals? When we try to lose weight, we sometimes get caught up in the physical, categories-in, categories-out processes. But losing weight is a mental game. By aligning your thoughts and worship practice with your goals, you can keep the weight off while becoming a better Christian. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [0:00] Introduction [1:05] Today’s episode is about NEWS, but it will take a different, more spiritual perspective than the previous episode. The “N” in news stands for neurobics, which are activities you can use to exercise the brain; in other words, how you think. [4:02] Marty tells the story of Victor, a man who was labeled a moron in childhood but was ultimately seen as a genius. Once his genius was recognized, he became an author and became the president of MENSA. What changed was what he told himself. [9:35] When you take the attitude that “I am all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13) and “I am more than a conqueror,” (Romans 8:37) those thoughts also affect how you view yourself. [14:00] East stands for envision. More than how we think of ourselves, envisioning is about how we see our futures in Christ. [20:18] How much of yourself can you invest into trying to live a future in Christ when you are drowning in an addiction? What you say and think matters, and envisioning a better future for yourself can help you achieve it. [22:20] W stands for “why.” Without something to hold you accountable when you face temptation, you still struggle to resist. You “why” is where your dreams meet your discipline. [26:15] If you don’t know what your why is, you can pray for one. Prayer will help you discover what truly motivates you. [30:16] S stands for service to others. 1 Peter 4:10-11 reads “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” [34:50] We all have spiritual gifts, and they all work together for God. When we are actively using our gifts for God’s kingdom, it is an extremely powerful feeling.

If you are looking for a solution to the eternal dilemma of weight loss, you are in the right place. For years I have struggled to lose weight with no permanent success. Every time I succeeded in losing weight, over time I gained it all back and more. And the stress was horrible. Working with God to change my mind about food and dieting makes all the difference. It is making a difference to me. I know it can do the same for you.

-Scott

Being a Christian, much of my life is centered around church activities which are typically centered around food. It’s a struggle! Church potlucks have been my nemesis! Then I started reading A Phoenix Chronicles and it has taken the anxiety out of going to the potlucks because now I’m viewing my relationship with food very differently. This is something God and I can work on together!

-Ellen

This is a home run, and it works for me on so many different levels. I like that it’s not a diet program, but it’s more like a resource to help you stay on the diet that I like. It helps me focus on the heart aspects of losing weight. I hadn’t spent a lot of time thinking about that before I found Phoenix Chronicles but it has opened my eyes to how important I had made food and now I’m working on this and I’m excited!
