God has changed me so I no longer snack all day long. He gives me the strength to walk away from food temptation. However, stress is still my downfall. When my mind is set on stress, I turn to food. I had stomach discomfort last week from eating too much. I can’t believe I slipped again. Jeremiah 31:25 is, “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 Only God can satisfy and refresh me. He is the solution to my stress. Food has never fixed my stress. I might feel better for a short time, but feel worseRead More →

Every New Year is full of hope and promise. I usually renew my resolutions to lose weight, become more organized, and create more frequent blog posts. So far, I have not done much to get organized. It is the middle of February and I am still working on my “New Year’s” post. Instead of traditional goals, I will use one word for 2023 that helps me grow spiritually. I will persevere in 2023. Philippians 3:14 is, “I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Holy Bible, New Living Translation,Read More →

I have flipped to the ending of a book when the action got too intense. I also search the internet for spoilers when watching a series. I can’t stand not knowing how a story ends. My life is the same in that I want to know my “endings”. Anytime I face uncertainty, I stay awake to map possible outcomes instead of resting. I waste time trying to solve a problem that can fix itself. Proverbs 16:5 is, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 God’s plans for me are better than anything I can imagine.Read 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 can’t believe that it is already October. The school year is speeding by and I have not updated this blog since August. My eating has been fine, except for a few slips. Emotional eating, or stuffing my problems with excessive food, is a habit I am working to break. I have made progress, but I occasionally fail. Stress will never go away, so I must seek something other than food to comfort me. Isaiah 55:2 is, “Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eatRead More →
