I was afraid of myself and my addiction with food and I didn’t know what I would end up doing.
This weekend was a much needed weekend of relaxing and spending time with family. If you read my last blog post then you know that I did a social media detox this weekend. It was amazing!
I stayed at my sisters house. We watched tv, sang karaoke, watched movies, and ate junk food. I had the right intentions when going to her house. I packed healthy snacks and ate good for breakfast and lunch on Friday and then Friday night came....
We had pizza and then cookies later that night. I woke up Saturday morning prepared to eat healthy so I made eggs and cantaloupe (my go to breakfast.) After breakfast it just kind of went downhill from there. Again we had pizza, cookies, and also popcorn.
Then Sunday came and I made eggs and cantaloupe again and ate good all day. I actually woke up Sunday morning and was praying for strength to not eat bad and to treat my body like a temple and the craziest thing happened that day.
At church the preacher was talking about addictions and how things (drugs, food, etc) only make you feel good for a moment and that’s why you have to keep doing it. And that if you just have complete faith and trust in God you can overcome anything. That hit me so hard.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart.“ Proverbs 3:5
When I first decided to start this weight loss journey I didn’t want to have any cheat days. In the past I would have one cheat day and then it would turn into a cheat week and then before I knew it there was no diet. I would just slowly start adding bad things into what I was eating until all I ate was junk.
When I woke up on Sunday I knew I was done eating bad but I also was fearful. I was afraid of myself and my addiction with food and I didn’t know what I would end up doing. My preacher was straight up talking to me when he was preaching yesteday. God told him to tell me that I didn’t have to have Faith in myself. I needed to have Faith in him. That if I just fully trust him and let him take control that I could do anything.
Before you go I will leave you with this prayer... I pray that you trust in the Lord with all your heart. I pray that you have complete Faith in him and let him take complete control. I pray that you give all of your fears and doubts to him, trust him whole heartedly, and see all of the amazing things that he does in your life. In Jesus name, Amen.
Never forget to choose faith over fear.
