A Diet Guaranteed to Work

Last night I went to bed stuffed and it's still 6 days until Thanksgiving.  As I laid there wondering if my body would be able to digest all the food, I ingested throughout the day without going into cardiac arrest, I had to finally admit something to myself:

My name is Tracy and I'm a Snacker.

As I contemplated my bloated condition, I wondered which weight loss program I would start next.

But instead of weight loss programs coming to mind, God brought a verse to meditate on instead:

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

It was like a lightbulb went off in my head.  

Sweets, treats and goodies are fine in moderation, but when feasted upon in-between meals, the consequences that result of such indulgences do not bring glory to my God.  Suddenly my reasons of age, health conditions, medications, and genetics took their true form; they were excuses to continue my bad habit.

I think I have a good start.

"And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite." Proverbs 23:2

   Another diet guaranteed to work...

        But that's just me!

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."

1 Corinthians 10:31
