living according to the Spirit

The Lord is speaking to me this morning that TW is simply living according to the Spirit and not the flesh.
At work I pray before doing almost everything and the Holy Spirit cares. He guides and directs me.
TW is doing the same thing with my eating and exercise. I need to ask Him to be my guide and then know that He will help me and comfort me and that I do not need comfort from food and He cares more about my body than I do. It is where He dwells.
I will do this today and be excited to see the results.

What is Thin Within?

I first learned about Thin Within after reading the book Thin Within by Arthur and Judy Halliday.
My daughter, to whom I shall always be grateful, introduced me to the book. I later read Thin Again which was written by the same authors.
There is also a web site http://www.thinwithin.org/ with forums and online classes. These are free of charge. I have gone through all four workbooks. The workbooks may be purchased by contacting Thin Within.
Thin Within is based on two principles. One is physical, the other is spiritual. The physical principle is that we should eat only when hungry and stop when the hunger is satisfied. There are no good or bad foods. We learn to listen to our body signals.
The spiritual principle is that it is difficult to do this in our own strength. We often eat as a response to different emotions instead of to fuel our bodies. When this happens we develop a relationship with food.
The Thin Within studies help us to understand our relationship with our Heavenly Father and to go to Him for our needs instead of going to food.
