Re-evaluation

There comes a time in every "dieter's" journey that a special occasion comes around and you try to do good with your choices but inevitably don't. If this has happened to you and if you are like me, you feel guilty and filled with regret. This happened to me on Friday and it is now Sunday and I still feel like I haven't been able to get back on track. I feel so guilty and condemned!! So full of hopelessness. Will I ever conquer this? God gently reminded me of Romans 8:1 - There is, therefore, now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Isn't He sweet? He is so loving and kind. All that hopelessness has been replaced with hope...hope in Jesus. I know that this task is not impossible with Jesus. I am learning to crave God instead of food. I am learning to go to Him instead of going to food when I am stressed, lonely, sad, happy. It is a hard habit to break. But I know my loving Heavenly Father is right there waiting for me to come running!
