You know, it's really hard when you go out of town to stay on track with eating. I went to a women's conference this weekend (which was great!!). I didn't have my regular food. There were lots of snacks. I was out of my regular routine. So it was difficult to resist some of that stuff. But after I got home last night, I sat down at the computer and started logging my points (weight watchers). I didn't do nearly as bad as I had thought. I was certainly thankful for that. Tomorrow is weigh day. I have no idea what to expect. Up, down or the same...whatever. Whatever will be, will be. But looking back over the weekend and being apprehensive about tomorrow's weigh in, I realize that I truly am focused on the wrong thing. I am obsessed with my weight and my food. But it really is about obedience to God and it really is about calling out to Him to help me not eat when I am not hungry. This afternoon when I was feeling weak (being tempted to eat when I wasn't hungry at all), I prayed instead of eating. You know, the temptation passed and I didn't eat. Praise the Lord! It is hard not to look at the whole picture and think I will never be able to keep this up. But I had victory with that one choice. I need to only look at my next choice and know that I can have victory each time. Somehow that makes things not seem so overwhelming.
This week, God showed me in His Word some Scriptures that have to do with food. Isn't it amazing that in His Word, we can find help for any (ANY) problem that we have. The verse for this week is Deut. 8:10 - "When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the Lord, your God". I have eaten my fill and I praise God for victory in my choices.
