What is it all about? - This week let's talk about what goes on when we rely on our food stronghold to survive. I discovered recently that my love/hate relationship with food is rooted in my heart! Wow, what an eye opener that has been. I have known for a long time that there is something going on with me, that I can loose weight; I can get myself to the point where I am looking and feeling much better; but I don't stay there. You too?
For the longest time I thought that this is just the way life was meant to be for me. I decide to loose weight, I find a diet that works for me and then I do it! But, it never lasts and that never surprises me when it doesn't. Now, isn't that something to admit? Can you relate to this?
This week I will share with you my journey of discovery into my issues with food and how I am starting to see where God is leading me. Please feel free to comment and to share your struggles too.
Scripture encouragement for today is from Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Wow, I agree, It is NOT about food. It is about my heart's desire. I want the diet to lose my weight when it is really how much effort I put into it that will show weight loss. And my power to keep going on a diet eventually runs out. I find accountability is my greatest encourager to focus on what goes in my mouth and what food I reach for. My family and friends, not even saying anything just their knowing my goal, can help keep me honest and focused. Prayer at the beginning of the day and throughout the day is my real help. If I take it to God and I start to waver, I get strength and accountability...the focused power in my heart which is the key to keeping on track.
