"Kimberly, I need your advice. My goal is to have a NORMAL relationship with food. i want to be able to have cookies or whatever in my house and them not consume my thoughts. i just want to be normal and not have a bunch of food rules and restrictions, and no-nos. Given that God can do anything, why can't he do this for me?
I am not praying that i be able to eat a box of oreos everyday, all i'm praying for is that i be able to enjoy God’s gift of food and not fear his gifts or feel like i can't keep it in my house because i may “lose control.”
I can understand her viewpoint because God created us to eat and to enjoy food. If we weren't meant to enjoy food, why would He give us taste buds?
However, her comment made me consider an important question.
If you struggle with emotional eating, my response to her is a must-read:
Be blessed in Health, Healing, and Wholeness,
