Stop The Food Madness

How many of you have a friend/family member who you don’t think should be smoking or drinking? It’s bad for their health right? If they would only quit. Don’t they know smoking causes cancer?
And the money alone spent on cigarettes. You can’t help but get upset from the drinking stories they tell you. What if they were to get behind the wheel of a car? The thought of them killing themselves or someone else for that matter, scares you.


These are very important issues. We don’t pass up the opportunity to share our feelings with that person. Sometimes we even overstep our boundaries or comfort zone to sit someone down and tell them we care about them and these habits have got to stop.

When was the last time you sat down a friend/family member and told them they were eating too much and killing themselves? Wow, there’s a thought huh? I am not talking about someone with a little weight problem, but someone who you have seen take food and made it their sin, their devil. We yell at someone to put that cigarette out and in the next sentence we ask if they want to head to McDonald’s and let’s super size it.



Here's a thought that drives me crazy. Women who feed other women junk food and sweets. You have an overweight friend who invites you to a house party and you bring a seven layer chocolate cake. Good job supporting your friends eating habits. (Ouch. Did I say that out loud?) Or your friend is upset about something, calls crying, and you bake her brownies and rush right over.

We all have sin in our lives. I am not perfect and I make mistakes everyday. Even when it comes to fitness, I still struggling to get it right.

If food is controlling you, then it is the Lord of your life! It’s above all else. We never seem to care enough to talk about it. Either we have a problem and don't want to ask for help. Or we see a friend with a problem and don't dare confront them.

If food is the Lord of your life, please go talk to someone, find out why, and then start making healthier choices and working out.


Our bad eating habits have got to stop!  How are you coming on that New Years Resolution? Are you starting to slow down. DON'T. I believe we are all smarter than this. We have the facts. If there is a small voice, your subconscious or as I believe, the Holy Spirit, telling you you need to get things under control….then you probably do. No one said it was going to be easy. Even 10-15 pounds isn’t easy.

It’s just worth it. Your worth it !
