I have “food noise” constantly in my brain. Thoughts about food pop into my mind throughout the day. I worry about food that will be served when I go to someone’s house or to a restaurant. Sometimes I obsessively plan what I will eat to stay on track. When I continually think about food, I am distracted and tempted to overeat. Luke 12:29 is, “Don’t strive for what you should eat and what you should drink, and don’t be anxious. Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 Jesus teaches us not to worry but to trust in Him. These uncontrollable thoughts about food in my mindRead More →

I have tried to lose weight and eat healthy for a long time. I look in the mirror and don’t like what I see. Maybe the snacking I do in the evening is adding up. It could also be that I end up eating too much or the wrong thing when I eat out. I realize I need to keep going and lean more into Christ for strength instead of giving up. Philippians 3:14 is, “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001 God has more planned for meRead More →

I sometimes want to eat “treats” I normally don’t eat, like candy. In the past, I would think “It’s just this one time, so I can enjoy.” If I was eating chips and salsa, I would continue eating until the basket was empty. Once I overdid it, I gave up on my food plan and kept eating. I need a strategy so I can enjoy deserts occasionally without overeating. Proverbs 25:16 is, “Do you like honey? Don’t eat too much, or it will make you sick!” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 God gave me all foods for nourishment and enjoyment! The Lord is slowlyRead More →

The biggest and scariest winter storm of the season passed through my state. I was terrified of losing power in our all electric home. We lost power for 36 hours in a storm last spring and the thought of no electricity during Arctic temperatures scared me. I prepared for losing power by dreading how uncomfortable it would be. My prayers were “God please keep our power on” instead of, “Lord, help us to manage if we lose power.” Psalm 46:10 is, “…Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Holy Bible,Read More →

I love food. For most of my life, I ate too much and was overweight. I just got back from a cruise with endless food buffets and all inclusive dining. My eating was good at first, but later into this trip, I ate food my body did not need. I felt bloated and my stomach hurt. Since I got out of my normal habits, it has been harder to eat only what my body needs. I had lost 10 pounds, but feel like I gained it all back. 1 Corinthians 10:31 is, “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it allRead More →
