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.
