I can easily lose 5 to 10 pounds, just enough for me to notice a difference.  Then, I quit losing and start gaining weight back. Deep down, I want to take it easy once my clothes get loose. I gradually start eating larger portions and snacking, even if I am not hungry. Before I know it, I have slipped to the point my eating in no longer in control.  Recently, I have been on a steady path of continuing to eat less.  God is guiding me along this straight path.  He shows me I need to keep focused on Him and not drift away.

There are times I wonder why I am spending time writing this blog.  I know God wants me to put these posts on the internet, so I keep going.  Some days I eat only food my body needs and think I have completely kicked my food obsession.  Other days I lose sight of God and eat everything in sight.  Even though I have slipped at times, God has changed my heart so I quickly see my error. Before I started this blog, I had written a book detailing how God has helped me end my obsessive eating.  This book has sat for almost 3 yearsRead More →

God has given and will continue to give me everything I need.  Psalm 109:30 is, “But I will give repeated thanks to the Lord, praising him toRead More →

Anytime I completely eliminate specific foods like sugar, I count days until I can enjoy it again.  I dream about what I am missing while I substitute something else to quench this craving.  Even though I lose weight, I gain it back quickly once I end my elimination diet.  I realized recently that I am eating too much sugar.  When I eat unhealthy foods like candy and potato chips all day, I feel bad.  I am grateful God reveals things to me that I need to work on. When I first cried out to God for help with my weight, He showed me the answerRead More →

Problems and issues from everyday living wear me down.  Minor concerns add up and drag me down.  As I have got older and aware of danger, I worry more than I did when I was younger.  I want to be prepared if the worst possible thing happens.  However, I get stressed over something that may never come to pass.  I want to have future plans mapped out so I know what to expect.  Anytime I focus on negatives, I create emotional distress.  I need to lean on God and let Him carry me. Isaiah 46:4 is, “I will be your God throughout your lifetime – until yourRead More →
