Food will always be my downfall. Even when my eating has been really good, I am tempted to indulge. I have to be careful to stop eating as soon as I feel full. If my emotions spin out of control, I want to soothe them with food. Other times, I want to eat because the food looks good even if I know my body does not need it.

1 Corinthians 10:12 is, “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015) I keep away from excess food by staying close to God. When I think I can do this on my own, I fall flat on my face. I submit my food intake to God. He helps me eat healthy while still enjoying occasional treats. I walk away from meals satisfied, instead of being hungry all day. As long as I follow God, I will continue losing weight.
