How many times have you heard that. In my 40 + years I've heard that a lot of times. I just thought I would never be the one with the eating problem!
So great now what? Do I follow the made up rules and falsehoods of "don't eat this ,& don't eat that" I say NO! My wife Kristin has been taking an on line course called Setting captives free. It has worked wonders for her.
So I've decided to take this course also. I an learning to fill myself with God rather than stuffing my face. The true food lies in the word of God. No food will ever satisfy my soul, God is the only one that can do that.
Its so easy to let let ones guard down and give in to the flesh. I'm weak! Last week I fasted for the first time in my life. Let me tell you I was not easy. But every time I felt hungry I prayed to Jesus that he would take the hunger from me, & the temptation, and the urge to be mean.
God is so good!
This is so huge. I feel as though I have been walking blind. Totally oblivious to this problem, now I see how I use food. I eat out of boredom, I eat hurriedly, I eat out of control.
I see all this now, now I ask humbly the God of the universe for help; and I know that He will.

I have never fasted. I'm going to do it! Your blog has pushed me over the edge. I've been feeling convicted for some reason. I don't understand it.
Take cover before Gustav gets there. He's an ugly son of a gun.
Hi Mark,
I just wanted to thank you for your openness and honesty. I've had the privilege of watching Kristin grow (spiritually - as you know, physically she's shrinking!) over the last 60 days and I feel totally honoured to have been allowed to enjoy the ride.
Having seen God use this teaching to transform one of the adults in your household, I can't wait to see where He leads you.
Thanks again,
Eleanor
