I believe wholeheartedly that God created me with faults for a higher purpose.  He intended me to use my experiences to help others struggling with the same imperfections.  I still think about food and occasionally slip.  Sometimes, I get stuck in a rut of overeating and feel tempted to give up.  Deep down, I know God lifts me out of my pit and can still use me.

Psalm 139:16 is, “You saw me before I was born.  Every day of my life was recorded in your book.  Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 1996, 2004, 2007).  I was not created to be perfect.  God has planned out my life and knows what is best for me.  Ever slip I have made takes me off my path.  Once I turn to God, He directs me back to Him.

God helps me to stay on a track of consistent healthy eating.  He pulls me back on track when I slip and helps me stay there.  Once, I thought I needed to be perfect so God could use me.  Now I know He uses my imperfections for His glory.  Instead of  taking away my problem with food, God is using it to help others.
