I once sought pleasure in excess food. I enjoyed eating anything and everything I wanted to. The world tells me to seek what I desire and that food can comfort me. It whispers other lies such as, “You love pizza and should finish this last piece.” I fell for this lie and believed stuffing my body with food would make me happy.

Psalm 37:4 is, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001

The Lord has changed my heart so I want Him more than food. I no longer get pleasure from stuffing food in my already full body. It has been a process to get where I am today. I do sometimes slip and eat more food than my body needs. The difference is I quickly realize I have fallen and turn to God for help. I no longer desire excess food. The Lord helps me eat healthy and enjoy what I eat.
