Book Im reading....
Thought for the day:
Eating in its proper context is not the problem. God gave us food for nourishment, strength, and even celebration. But when pleasure becomes unrestrained, there is a problem.
God doesnt care what size you are, you are beautiful the way you are.(He created you didnt he) But God loves you so much that he doesnt want you to stay in a place of defeat. Do you crave, desire & think about and arrange your life around food? Do I crave food more than I crave God? Is it possible to love & rely on food more than we love & rely on God? We have to see the purpose of our struggle with food as something more than getting to wear smaller sizes and receiving compliments. Shallow desires produce shallow efforts. These things are nice but not as appealing in the moment as a cinnamon roll, or those chips or that brownie. (Amen to that sister) :) The process of getting healthy has to be about more than just losing weight and focusing on ourselves. Its about recalibrating our souls so that we want to change for the right reasons. Some interesting things to ponder....
