ArchivedGluttonyWhat can I do about gluttony? It seems I can never escape food- everywhere I go either someone wants me to eat with them, or I'm alone and think about food and to stop thinking about it I eat. I don't know what to do about this because I know being overweight is hindering me from being the best Christian I can be and it also makes me have less self-confidence and no one cares to really hear what i have to say because I don't have it all together physically so how could I possibly have it together spiritually? I know my body is the temple of God but my body tells me that I will have no sanity until I eat something. I know I eat way too much but when I am eating I forget that I want to lose weight and tell myself I am okay. I have been struggling with this for as long as I can remember and I don't know how to talk to God about it and get His help. When I eat I eat because something inside of me tells me I have to eat. I wish the holy spirit would convict me- but that isn't the case. I have vainly prayed to God to help me lose weight but it never seems like a real prayer. Food controls me way too much and i don't know how to give it to God or how to get His help in this area. I know I need to lose weight but I can't because I don't have any spiritual resons to do so. It scares me to death because my appearance convicts me but I never seem to be able to focus on my appearance- then when I am away from a mirror I forget how bad my weight issue really is. I don't want to be an ineffective Christian- please help me. |
