When I mess up and continue indulging, it is challenging to get back on track. Last week, I took on my bad habit of eating something sweet after each meal. I also worked on putting my fork down as soon as I felt full. My eating was not perfect, but on the right track. Psalm 119:35 is, “Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.” Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 Once I shifted my eyes to the Lord, I could start eating less. Those small steps got me back into a grove of eating for nutrition. I have moreRead More →

In my journey to eat less, I have messed up many times. Every time I feel my clothes getting tighter, I feel ashamed for overeating and gaining weight. I have fallen many times and will probably do it again. I need to keep seeking God to stay on track. Ephesians 2:4-5 is, “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive in Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!” Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 I am grateful to serve my merciful Lord. He doesn’t keep track ofRead More →

My summer break started the week. After a stressful school year, all I want is rest. So, I spent the first days of break watching TV and scrolling on my phone while resting in bed. This earthy relaxation has not refreshed me. I can waste my time off by seeking worldly fixes and still be tired. Matthew 11:28 is, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 My spirit needs to be refreshed by Jesus. I started using my time off to soak in God’s Word first thing in theRead More →

It is easier to continue living with bad habits than trying to develop better ones. Ever since COVID changed everything 3 years ago, I have not written regular posts. When I was forced to stay home, I spent time seeking news instead of reading God’s Word. Going back to work and facing Coronavirus stresses gave me more excuses. Three years later, I am not back in a routine of writing. Matthew 6:33 is, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 When I seek the Lord, He guidesRead More →

God has changed me so I no longer snack all day long. He gives me the strength to walk away from food temptation. However, stress is still my downfall. When my mind is set on stress, I turn to food. I had stomach discomfort last week from eating too much. I can’t believe I slipped again. Jeremiah 31:25 is, “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 Only God can satisfy and refresh me. He is the solution to my stress. Food has never fixed my stress. I might feel better for a short time, but feel worseRead More →
