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 moreRead More →

Halloween is almost here. This past week, I have eaten more candy than I had in the past 5 months. My stomach is complaining. Even though I only ate a few pieces each day, my stomach complained about the excess sugar. It makes me wonder how my body processed the large amounts of sweets I used to eat. This morning, God showed me I had slipped on my Bible reading this past week. My tired brain wandered instead of concentrating on struggled morning devotionals. Since I started my day Jesus, I did not think to seek Him later in the day. Without God by myRead More →

I started healthier habits over the summer like cooking meals with real ingredients instead of using packaged foods. Since I was not working, I found time to exercise regularly. Now that I am back in school, I face temptations to stress eat. My weekly workouts average is 1.5 for this month. I don’t want my healthy routine to end. Proverbs 16:3 is, “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed .” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2018 When God guides my goals, I will succeed. He desires me to walk with healthy habits. Jesus gives me to strength to pass on snacksRead More →

Like everyone else, I want quick and easy weight loss, even though I know it is not realistic. I tried a new probiotic to eliminate stomach bloat, thinking it might help me lose weight. This supplement is helping my stomach heal from years of overeating. When I eat too much, I can now see how uncomfortable my stomach feels. I have justified my overeating for too long and lied to myself about the amount I was eating. Proverbs 3:7-8 is “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to yourRead More →

My fleshly desires are are not good for me. Last week, I wanted to eat leftover Easter candy even though I was full. (Side note: One month after Easter, I still have candy in my house. This is a one sign I am eating less!). Since I really wanted something sweet, I enjoyed a small piece. I am human and will keep fighting temptations to overeat. Jesus helps me to enjoy food without overindulge. Psalm 63:1 is, “You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there isRead More →
