I found a devotional on my Bible app on my phone that is geared towards food. I knew that there have been several books out there that give insight into what scripture says about eating, but I never picked one up. I have learned so far that food can be an idol in our lives. Food can be enjoyed but the primary purpose for food is fuel for our bodies.
As one that has struggled with over eating, emotional eating and even just eating when I'm bored God is really speaking to me about my health and weight through these scriptures. Adding this to what I learned while on the Daniel Fast, I feel like I have a whole new approach to eating. What I eat and how I eat affects my body and how I feel through the day.
I have cut pop down to one serving a day (soda stream has less calories and sugar than regular pop), increased the amount of fruit, veggies and while grains in my diet and decreased the amount of sugar and fatty foods. I am also going to the gym in my complex's club house with my friend/co-worker, Amanda. We are going to start a devotional time with each other while we are stretching after our workout.
No change in my weight, but I am feeling great.
