Fit Bit (finding comfort in food)
Dear Kimberly,
I am afraid I will
never get this right. I want to be a
better person. I am trying to be nice
and take care of myself, but things are blowing up all around me. Every time I get stressed I find food. How can I stop this? I am so far out of control; I fear I will
never get this right.
Sincerely,
Finding Comfort in Food
Dear Comfort food,
Things blowing
up, all around you is part of life in this world. Don’t expect heaven here on earth. (Quote
from my friend Pastor Randy Larson) We all have good days, and crazy days. Jesus loves us day-by-day, moment-by-moment
regardless of our mess. In order to stop
your feeding frenzy during times of stress, try trusting God in all things. Whatever the craziness, He can handle it and
will in His perfect timing. Do you
believe that? If you truly believe that
in your heart of hearts then practice it.
When you witness something blowing up, simply exhale, step back, pray
and trust God. If you start thinking
about comforting yourself with food, STOP, PRAY AND TRUST. Jesus loves you and will provide for you and
the situation that is blowing up. The
opposite of faith is fear. Find comfort
in your faith not food. Try putting your
favorite scripture verses on the fridge and make a deal with yourself that you will
read and think about at least one verse, before you take your first bite.
Isaiah 41:10
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee;
be not dismayed; for I am thy God;
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.”
You will get this right, keep on keeping on through the help
of Jesus Christ. Remember, God loves you,
regardless of your behavior, you are saved by
grace!
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
