Are you suffering from "Over Active Fork(OAF)?" Here are the symptoms:
1. You are 20 pounds or more overweight
2. You lack energy.
3. You cannot sleep well.
3. You panic when you have to fit into a small space (ie turn stiles, restaurant booths, husband's sports car etc.)
4. You use shopping carts as walkers.
5. If you have extreme OAF your feet may not get wet when you shower.
6. You cannot be in the same room with food without eating something.
7. You hide fast food wrappers and bags from other members of your family.
8. When planning an event, your first consideration is what food is going to be served.
9. The length of your pants is shorter than your waist measurement.
10. Just watching an exercise video makes you tired.
Maybe these symptoms have put a smile on your face but they are real. I suffer from a few of them myself.
Now what are we going to do to about them. Let us put our focus on Romans 6:6
For we know that our old self was crucified with him that our body of sin might be done away with that we should no longer be slaves to sin . Now isn't that good news? We are no longer a slave to sin because our sin was crucified with Christ on the cross. Lets take that thought and think on it for awhile Let it resonate in our hearts. Let us count on that promise and be free from the symptoms of OAF.
Tip : I read this, and am counting on it to be true. Be consistent. Imagine a plane taking off. In the beginning, a lot of energy is spent to simply get moving down the runway. But as speed and momentum take over, the plane is pulled forward and up into the sky, faster and further by the second. Consistent action, no matter how small, has more power that you ever imagined.
What a humerous and inspiring post. Thank you for your thoughts. Love you, Susan
