In my fight to overcome and achieve my dreams, one of the biggest setbacks I’ve faced was LACK OF PLANNING! If any of us desire to fulfill a dream, vision, overcome a struggle or obstacles, the first step to achieving any of those things is Creating A Plan.
For years, I’ve tried every weight loss program known to man and none of them worked for me. After everything else failed, I tried it my own way: vegan fast, no meat fast, no sugar fast, “free day” diet, you name it, I tried it and it was all unsuccessful. It wasn’t until my Mom found “Food Lovers Fat Loss System” did I find something that really worked for me. The program is designed for people that love to eat…I’m a lover of good food, so it was a perfect match.
Food Lovers had a very detailed plan and I needed the structure, so that worked for me. 
I actually love this plan because it: educates you on healthy food choices, educates you on how to appropriately combine certain foods that’ll help burn fat opposed to storing it, teaches you how to eat and make the foods you love but in right proportions and combinations etc. No gimmicks, no tricks, no freeze-dried foods, no points, just educating yourself on learning how to develop new healthy eating habits as well as learning how to eat what you love and still lose weight.
So, in my fight to overcome obesity, fulfill the vision I had and still have for B.O.O.M!’s Blog Site, develop my business, tend to my family, home, spiritual obligations and other dreams, I had to create a plan.
The plan I developed for myself that’s beginning to allow my dreams to come to fruition is as follows:
- Fully commit to “Food Lovers Fat Loss System (weight loss goal). You can check out their site at www.myfoodlovers.com
- Exercise 5 days a week: 4 days a week of 30 minutes cardio training & 30 minutes of weight training for toning, 1 day of a light 15 minute workout (weight loss goal)
- Create a list of 6 non-negotiable DAILY HABITS that I have to stick to that’ll help me achieve my goals 1) Prayer & learning to be still in His presence 2) Gym 3) Blog Business/Writing 4) Clean or Organize something in my home 5) Listen or watch a faith building or motivational message 6) Writing my daily eating journal & reading a health related book that’ll help me achieve my health goals.
Now, sometimes my daily to-do list has like 15-20 items on it and not everything
gets done, but, these 6 daily habits are the things that are non-negotiable that I work vigorously towards to help me achieve my dreams.
4. Prophesy what I want to see happen in my life…DAILY!
5. Update & Review my vision board and create a daily to-do list.
6. Get an understanding of the things that throw me off course and causes me to stumble from my purpose and goals. Once I identified that, I’ve been making conscious decisions to remove those things from my life. This requires for me determination, prayer and fasting. I’m still learning and sometimes struggling in this area, but its important we all understand what our triggers are that cause us to stumble, fall and prevent us from fulfilling our dreams and purpose.
7. Repeat and work in Diligence
The key to all of this…DILIGENCE! You can have a plan all day long but if you never review, activate or do anything with it, it’s worthless. I had all of these dreams, visions and desires, would write it down in my prayer journal, BUT, I never fully wrote out a vision mapping plan to help me get to my desired goal. For those of you that have a dream but don’t know how to get started, I strongly recommend this book, which helped me get started.
This book was the first book that started to convict me of my lack of diligence and why I couldn’t lose weight or achieve any of the dreams I desired. This was the book that helped me create a vision for myself of what I wanted to see happen in my weight loss. This was the book that helped me develop a plan to overcome the things that were trying to overcome me. Whether it’s a struggling marriage, a failing career, a dream unfulfilled, addiction, habit etc., it teaches you in practical ways the wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs and how to apply those principals to our daily lives in very simplistic ways.
For those of you that are truly looking for change and are hungry, if you can, buy this book and begin your journey of developing a plan for your life. It’s not too late for any of us to overcome and achieve any dream God lay’s in our heart, but we have to plan…our future, dreams and destiny is dependent upon it.
Continue to join me, Christ has more to say to us as we achieve our dreams and in our fight to overcome. As always, Be Encouraged, Stay Connected, Fight and Let’s Become Free Together.
