I can do nothing apart from Him.

In the past I would always say, “I know "I" can do this” and this time is going to be different."  But each time, eventually after some time, I would fall back into my old eating habits.  Notice the “I” in the statement above.  I never realized how much I was relying on my own willpower and strength. This time I know that I can't do it without His help! I will not be able to stay on this diet (lifestyle change) without Him.  I can do nothing apart from Him. (John 15:15) I think God allowed me to fail all of those previous times just to show me that I need to rely on Him and not my own strength. 

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalms 121:2
