God created food for us to enjoy.  For many years, I forced myself to eat vegetables and other healthy foods.  I craved sweets, hamburgers, and tacos, but avoided them.  When I indulged on cheat day, I felt guilt and fought temptation to continue eating.  I convinced myself sugar and fatty food did not agree with me.  Over the years, God reveled my problem was that I consumed too much food.  He commands me to only eat when I hungry and stop when full.  I learned to enjoy a variety of foods to satisfy my physical hunger. Isaiah 1:19 is, “If you are willing and obedient,Read More →

I am not perfect.  I manage to string together days and even weeks of clean eating.  Eventually, I slip and eat too much.  My stomach aches from being too full and my heart hurts because I messed up again.  I am disappointed in myself because I want to finally get this and never fail again.  I am grateful God takes me back, no matter how many times I fall. God is showing me I will progress towards perfection throughout my lifetime.  Matthew 5:38 is, “But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2007).
