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 more energy and peace of mind. The extra food I stuffed down did not bring me long term satisfaction. Only God fills my emptiness and bring me joy.
