If you're like me, you have a weakness that you can't seem to fight all the time. For me it's breads and chips. I prefer original Dorito's and Wendy's french fries. I'm not allergic to any of it, but I know that if I eat those starches I'm going to blow up like Mount Kilauea in Hawaii.
I've struggled with my weight for a very long time and thanks to my wife, I was able to lose 50 pounds. Right now, I've gained a small portion of it back because I thought a little here and there won't hurt. Oh how wrong I was.
Oh sure, there are times when I can't seem to fight the craving and give in to it, and as soon as I do, I regret it. But, for just that little moment of time, it satisfies some crazy thing inside my head. I wish I knew how to fight it better and each time that I give in I feel like I'm starting over. The truth is, I'm not starting over each time, I'm just disappointed in myself.
When that happens, I do go back to eating healthier. Your healthy eating and my healthy eating may not be the same and if you're fortunate (from my view) you may not have a food struggle at all.
Whatever the struggle, we get the opportunity to restart!
Lamentations 3:22-24 "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him."
