Then I read this one line...
"It's really is about learning to tell myself no and learning to make wiser choices daily" (Made to Crave, Lysa TerKeurst)
Whoa!!!
Sisters, let me tell you - I was hit by the proverbial lightening bolt at that. If I was a cartoon me, there would have been a big ol' light bulb sparking up over my head!
Sometimes I'm a little slow to catch on to things. But, finally... I felt like I got it. That realization of how this applies to not just my food and health, but to my life.
It's not JUST about food!
It's about making wise choices every day. It's about learning to deny myself. Not to give in to earthly, sinful impulses. To humble myself. To practice self control. To rely on God's wisdom.
That goes for what I am choosing to put in my mouth. It goes for whether or not I choose to exercise.
But saying no to unhealthy food and unhealthy practices is the beginning. Practice. The launching pad.
Because it also applies to so much more!
