Life as a princess; a hungry princess

Hungry is the word of the day. This usually happens any time I try to eat healthier. Somewhere about the 3rd day my stomach realizes it has been given less food. So here I am with a grumbly tummy, dreaming of a hamburger, fries , and a large soda. Thankfully I am too tired to do much about it, and writing out my thoughts helps also.

Lt. was giving an illustration of her vs. cake in Bible Study today. She mentioned that she didn't ask God if He thought she should have the piece of cake because she knew He would say no due to her health. This illustration reminded me that I need to bring my hunger pangs to God. He knows the desires of my stomach. Would a hamburger, fries and soda make me happy? I think not. Besides feeling like I over ate, I would have guilt pangs also. Not only that it would send me into a downward spiral thinking, "Since I already blew it, why not go a little further." So a thank you goes out to Lt.

I also decided to take it a step further. I went to the altar tonight and prayed about it. Not that I haven't already come to him with my food problems. I was listening to Major preach, sitting in a room full of people who have admitted their addictions, realizing that there were some parts of my food addiction that I have not given to him. I hadn't given to him the emotional eater in me. I thought about how I turned to food for comfort, knowing full well the only source of true comfort is God. So there I laid it at his feet. I know that with Him all things are possible, even overcoming my addictions.

Thank you God for being my source of strength and comfort. Continue to help me take care of your temple.
