~Fate vs Faith~

Someone asked a question over at RFT about fate...it got me thinking about how this relates to our dealing with health issues...all of the responses were basically New Age, I shared my Christian persepective on it, (hoping I haven't offended, or stepped on toes...no responses to it yet...)& am now thinking about how what I believe affects my health.
First of all, here's the post I'm referring to:

It's when I truly repented for my gluttony & slothfulness that things truly began to change. I tried many times, in my own efforts, to be consistant, & do what I needed to do, but only when I saw it for the sin it was to be digging my own grave with my fork, defiling & destroying my body with my habits that I was filled with the fruit of the Spirit of Self-control.
When I was a New Ager, much as I believed the "I created it", & "I manifested it because...", still, I was able to justify & excuse all sorts of things, & didn't ever really take full responsibility for the consequences of my choices & actions...{pretty easy to avoid when you believe in karma & past lives!}
When my actions affected mainly ME in my thinking, (not a Holy God I was accountable to, or others, as my brother's keeper) it was very difficult to truly change...now I believe that, much as we can change certain outward things, only God can change {transform, heal, restore,} our hearts & lives to true wholeness...when we co-operate, & are willing to see things through His eyes, rather than only our own limited perspective.
Anyways, I'm beginning to fully trust (& experience!) that my weight & health problems will be overcome by His grace & power in me to do what He sets before me each day to do...one day at a time!
"I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me"...
...& "Without Him, I can do NOTHING!"
