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 IRead More →

Because God has changed my eating habits, I am starting to see results. I enjoyed my past successes, but got complacent, and gained weight back. I know God wants me to continue growing and keep sharing my victories. This is scary because I don’t know where it will lead. I am tempted to take it easy when I know God wants me to do more. Isaiah 40:31 is, “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

There will always be trouble in my life. I once talked nonstop about my difficulties and hosted pity parties. This kept me stuck in negativity. Food gave me temporary comfort. I thought I would go back to eating right as soon as things were less crazy. I used problems as an excuse to overeat. Nahum 1:7 is, “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,” (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011). God gives me peace and comfort when I am troubled. He wants me to turn to Him instead of food. He shows me whatRead More →

Tomorrow we celebrate freedom for our country. I appreciate the sacrifices made by others so I can enjoy living in the USA. However, I am more grateful to God. He gives me the freedom to enjoy food, even on holiday weekends. I am blessed to enjoy freedom to worship the one true God. Happy 4th of July to all.Read More →

Fear stops me from working towards goals I know God has for me. When I started blogging about four years ago, I knew God wanted me to share my journey away from food. There are times I am afraid to take the next step because my fear is failing. When I don’t give my full effort, I can say I failed because I should have worked harder. I know God is calling me to be bold and move beyond excuses. 2 Timothy 1:7 is, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”Read More →
