Re: I think my problem may be gluttony

[Guest guest]

Hi Misty,

My self control comes solely from not wanting to face the consequences you

mentioned. If I didn't have a fear of flares/pain/discomfort/etc., perhaps I

would eat the whole jar of nut butter! As it is, I just dream longingly of it

mixed with delicious creamed honey *drool*.

Same thing with illegals. I haven't been tempted yet because of all the

potential consequences. But I still have dreams almost nightly of mass consuming

sweet illegal treats (man, I love those dreams!).

Vitamins, and a food mill to grind applesauce, and enough cheap chicken

people only ate about seven different foods for the first three months. I

think 2000 calories a day is the govt. way of getting us to eat cheap

subsidized carbs. I think it breaks God's heart. But when I made those

muffins for the first time, I didn't eat one quarter to see what it would

do. I ate six!!! COnvincing myself it was healthy. Oh, my Lord, I need to

repent of this gluttony. I really believe that.

The Good Lord put plants and animals on this earth for us to eat, and

also, in the case of animals, to be companions.

Eating adequate and healthy food is a way of praising God for His gifts

to us.

Eating adequate, and healthy food to heal your body is not gluttony -- it

is following God's word.

It's not unusual to eat more of something which tastes so good,

especially when, for the first time, you can eat something delicious and

not pay in pain and blood.

Don't beat yourself up. Give praise for finding this wonderful

healing diet... and do what is needed.
