The big "D" word

Do you know why the diet industry is so lucrative and profitable. It is NOT because some diets work and others don't. The truth is that MOST if not all diets work if we are consistent and committed to eating the way they dictate us too. The truth is that we are looking to find the diet plan that is easy and take basically no effort or our part. When we don't find that in Diet Plan A or Diet Plan B then we go looking for Diet Plan C. So in the meantime the diet industry makes money due to own lack of commitment. The truth in total is that our eating has LESS to do with what we are eating and more about what is eating us. We have made it a habit to stuff our faces to block out the real issues. Even we get to the point of being able to cope without the food it is too late because overeating has become a habit.
We are looking for a diet to DO for us the one thing we really need and that is too be DENIED. One of the complaints I hear from myself and even others who are dieting is trying to avoid or cope with hunger. The truth for most of us is that we have such an unhealthy with food that as well we have an unhealthy relationship with REAL hunger. It makes sense to be feel hungry when we first start eating RIGHT because normally WE eat too much and so to eat RIGHT means eating in moderation and what feels like hunger to our souls is not hunger to our bodies.
For most of our bodies HUNGER is a welcome thing. It is a relief to our organs to have some time off from constantly processing food .
On the spiritual side denial pushes away from the table and makes our flesh a little weaker and our spirits a lot stronger.
Today you need to know that You can deny yourself. You can have the power to say NO to your appetite and your flesh. To those who are overweight it is NOT a bad thing to go hungry. I have to tell myself I can be hungry and it will not hurt me but in fact help me.
My flesh has been FED too much this far in my life that is why it is so strong in trying to fight me against not overeating. Because in the past I gave in so much my willpower and self control have been basically ignored to the point that they have been starved to death.
Glory to God the bible God is not the God of the dead but of the living. He is able to resurrect and call to life those things that have long been dead in our lives.
In the name of Jesus we speak life to self-control and will power. We will continue to give life and feed these attributes with the word of God.
We will speak life to our will power that we can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us. Manie
