Weight Gain Of the Heart

Updated: Jan 1

Weight gain, weight gain feeding on those things that brings my heart pain. Consuming gluttony, envy, anger, malice and lust and when feasting is over and I’m full; i STILL pick up a dessert plate full of lust. 

Weight gain, weight gain the pounds keep me from maintaining peace of mind, focused eyes and thoughts that are aligned. Daily I fall out of line believing that I will straighten up my act in time. Fooling myself, pretending while amongst others, so that everything appears to be fine. Late night binges help me to devour my lustful sins in secret.


Pictures, videos, hidden dates and even secluded bathroom breaks. Nobody’s watching so defilement is an option. Meanwhile immorality pounds keep knocking, weighing my heart down but DANG for some reason I’M STILL NOT STOPPING!


Weight gain, weight gain my heart is laden with shame but nobody notices so pretension continues to be my game. Until one day, all parts of me are affected. I’m so over this weight cause it got me stressing. I decide to exercise my INTERNAL, cause my physical is not a burden. I pick up the Most High’s book, believing that if I read it just ONCE I could trim away the multiple blows my heart took. Off and on, more off than on, I read it but the weight STILL PILES ON.


One day I realize that exercise would breed better results if it became a routine of mine.
So then day by day I began reading the Psalms, meditating on how it tells me to refrain from anger to help me remain calm. Twenty more pounds to go as I build my spiritual muscle.  Remembering 1st Peter telling me to put aside malice and all manner of evil verbal scuffles..

The last thirty pounds latched on tight  to my heart. Then I ingested the fat burning words of Proverbs, that told me to single my focus and stop allowing my eyes to rest on the darkness that once tore me apart. Heavy heart weight had me once feeling like I was hopeless, but now I shifted my heart to the ONLY  weight loss program that keeps me focused. Better than Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and the Atkins Diet, this program is better known as Gods word and I made it my way of life.
