I have come to the conclusion that my deepest and most destructive addiction is that of dieting. DIETS DON'T WORK FOR ME! They only take my mind off the work God has for me in my generation.
But I am afraid! I am afraid if I give up dieting, and just give it over to God, that I will balloon up and be huge. Everything I have studied in the Bible says, to give it up, and I sense that is what God's telling me will break my addiction to food (because it will take away the forbidden fruit aspect). But I am too afraid to let go. I have let go before and been fine, but then for some reason I try to take control again. Now this time when I try to let go, I have been eating everything in sight!!! Is it too late for me? Has God swept me clean, and now because I allowed my thoughts to go where they wanted, 7 demons have come to torment me??? is my faith too damaged?
Luke 11:24 (The Message)
24-26"When a corrupting spirit is expelled from someone, it drifts along through the desert looking for an oasis, some unsuspecting soul it can bedevil. When it doesn't find anyone, it says, 'I'll go back to my old haunt.' On return, it finds the person swept and dusted, but vacant. It then runs out and rounds up seven other spirits dirtier than itself and they all move in, whooping it up. That person ends up far worse than if he'd never gotten cleaned up in the first place."
Do you think it's true? Do you think it's more of a sin to be overweight or be so caught up in dieting? Do you think if I just stop and dieting, and give it over to God that He will allow me to get huge???
