Now how would you feel? When I went on there one time with a few friends, one pushed it real fast and it was quite an experience, to have someone control how fast you go or how slow you go. I'm not sure if I want to go through that again
That was me with my eating habits, there was a time when I thought that everything was good and that I could eat anything but some family and friends had to tell me straight - 'Ryan, watch what you eat'
It was quite different to hear that but I soon realised the damage it could cause and then I came across the following scripture - Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power (1 Corinthians 6:12)
Soon or later, I discovered for myself that not all foods are beneficial for me. When I started my road to surgery, I was told that after surgery, the food I eat now will have to be cut off completely, whilst I didn't take it in I eventually realised it wouldn't do me any good. Even as I was preparing for surgery I had to make drastic changes in what I ate, the portion sizes and how regular I ate.
So, what helped me change what I ate - I would have to say having a diary and a schedule and also getting help from my church family and direction from God, this combination helped me a lot. I was also told to listen to my body as it would signify what it likes and what it doesn't like
Only I could stop myself from spiralling out of control so I took back control and started to change my lifestyle. A few months on and I can truly say that it's the best decision I have ever made. I'm not totally there yet but I made a change and it is starting to pay off.
If you find yourself on a roundabout, jump off and get back up and start to take control and it shall be well with you
“Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. - Isaiah 3:10
Be Blessed
