Yeah I said it! Sorry did I go too far? Did I touch a nerve? Have you never heard it out loud but questioned it somewhere deep down inside?
If someone’s addicted to porn, drugs or someone else’s wife it’s easy to say, that’s a sin, that’s wrong. But food? We all need it to live right? Yes we do, but I’m talking about an ADDICTION!!
I’m talking about:
- Thinking about food all the time.
- Obsessing about food.
- Never being satisfied by food.
- Always wanting more.
- Fantasizing about food.
- I could go on and on…
I feel like I can be so bold cause I’ve been there. I’ve fought the battle and yes, deep down, I’ve wondered if it was a sin.
What is sin? Missing the mark. Putting someone or something else before God!
I’ve been there; when I couldn’t talk, I could eat. When I found it hard to pray, I could turn to food. It didn’t judge me but it was insatiable and out of control.
Isn’t that how a drug addict feels?
I’ve heard billions of pounds and dollars are poured into research and tests to make food more addictive, then there’s the advertising!
I had to take back control of what I could control. I couldn’t control what they put into food or how an ad affects me but I could control my hands, my mouth and my mind.
I decided to educate myself. I decided my body IS the temple of the Living God and I would treat it that way. I decided to put God first and ask for His help to control and redirect my appitie.
Slowly but surely it worked and continues to work.
Top tips:
- Speak life over yourself.
- Don’t be controlled by outside forces.
- Ask God for His help.
- Prayerfully find something that works and stick to it.
- Listen for God’s leading. He’s more concerned about your body and health that you could ever imagine.
