Food For the Soul
You eat when you get bored, when you are under stress and when you are not even hungry! Food controls you. You need to learn portion control, how to count calories and how to push back from the table. Before I became serous about my weight, when I cooked a meal I ate a whole meal just tasting to see if the food was seasoned right. Now I let everyone season the food if they feel it needs more.
God provides such wonderful foods to keep us alive. Food and water nourish the body. You need both to survive. Satan uses food as a tool. You make it your drug of choice. When anything goes wrong, you turn to food for comfort. Satan uses food in so many ways to keep you under his thumb. The demon of over eating is powerful! You do not realize how it controls you. Prayer and your relationship with God are going to be very important. Satan is going to tempt you at every turn! God will be with you and He will be your strength, your battler and your protection.
Satan uses the mirror to deceive you. I call it self-deception! You only see the face in the mirror. Satan does not want you to see the whole body.
You need food and water to live and you are going to learn how to control what and how much you eat. You will need to count your calories, fat, sodium, carbohydrates, and watch your portions of food. You need to be disciplined and be obedient for the Lord.
The battle is in your mind. That is where Satan loves to do his damage. The mind is his battlefield. Satan uses the hurts of stress, hopelessness, rejection, gluttony, depression, emotions etc.
