My stomach growls. I have been good all day. I only ate things that are on my 'safe' food list, but now I wonder....is this all really worth it? ....is being thin over rated?.... I can be in good shape even if my shape is 'pear' right?...I'll feel so much better if I have those foods instead of the ones on my list....I'll be happier because I won't constantly be struggling with making good food choices.

Oh the lies, the lies that when I am feeling weak are so alluring. I was reading Romans 1 this morning and like always the Holy Spirit had a lot to say to me. I got to verse 8 and I stopped and quickly bowed my head and asked God for forgiveness. I found these words in the verse...exchanged the truth of God for the lie. Now the verse isn't talking about food, but the way it was stated made my sin so obvious to me. It didn't say they were confused and chose the lie, or that they were tricked and chose the lie. They exchanged it. It sounds to me like a decision that was made knowingly without coercion.

Oh my, oh my, how many times I knowingly choose the lie because I want instant happy. I know what my choice will ultimately reap, but I choose it anyway because of my selfishness. There are so many lies that I find myself choosing each and every day.

I think I need to make signs that say, “Make good choices” and hang them everywhere!

Praying that we will choose the truth of God today and not the lies.
