The Battle Of Dieting

A major player in our battle is avoiding

the lusts  of the flesh as spoken in 

Galatians 5:16. We have heard to not

be a lover of money. This doesn't mean

we can't have a lot of money it means

not to love it to control us. 

Most of us have addiction of some kind.

This is where we must decide to lay off

those addictions. I mentioned dieting in

the title since is a major player for most

of us.

Many people diet however it only last

for a while instead of a lifetime. Much

like being an alcoholic. We should have

someone to be accountable to. Also, 

having a journal where we can write

down our struggles with food or what

other desires of the flesh.

I am sure many don't feel as though 

they are in a battle with the flesh

since is a normal part of their daily

living however it is true. Most who

die young is for these reasons.

To be able to eat healthy is to lay

off some foods and to eat smaller

portions. Between meals is to have

fruit or drink water. I have to watch

eating foods with a lot of salt in

them. I buy foods with small amount

of salt. I have done it for a lot of years

now that having little salt doesn't 

bother me. 

Besides eating smaller portions it

is a good idea to miss a meal once

in a while. Which one depends on

you. Not easy since you miss a meal

the next time you may eat more. Not

always bad especially if you don't 

eat as much as two combined meals.

I would suggest skipping dinner as

the one you miss. The major reason

is most of us don't have as much

physical exercise after dinner. If

you are one that likes to have a

snack before bed it would be a

good idea to stop that. It may not 

be easy so have smaller portion

or begin missing once a week if

you do so every evening. 

Like every battle we are in is to

go to God for our assistance.

I wish you the very best and

remember I am in the battle too.
