Self-control with eating is hard sometimes, isn’t it?

 

Not only must you handle outward circumstances, but conflicts inside of yourself!

 

Here is an eating conflict I faced the other day.

 

I opened the refrigerator and saw a jar of peanut butter.

 

Before I even thought about it, I grabbed the jar and opened it, intending to eat some.

 

I had to laugh at how quickly I did it.

 

Now the problem wasn’t with the peanut butter. The problem was that I wasn’t even thinking about peanut butter until I saw it!

 

So I set up a battle for myself that I did not need to fight.

 

Have you ever been there?

 

But life is easier when you practice one principle that is based on God’s word. This will help you not only with self-control in eating but in other areas of your life.

 

Try it and see if it makes your life easier too.
