I try to eat more nutritious foods and less unhealthy treats. Just Trying to eat healthy is not enough to stop me from overeating, Sometimes, I want food to soothe emotional pain. I need more than determination and willpower to stay on track. When I turn to God, He gives me the strength to eat less.

Romans 12:1 is, “…give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015). Eating only food my body needs is a living sacrifice to God. When I overeat, I fail to give God my best. He is Holy and deserves all of me. God has changed my heart so I want to follow Him and eat less food. I worship Him by no longer stuffing food down for emotional needs.
