In a world that promotes wild, crazy fun, the word "tame" seems like a set back. Ke$ha, Rianna, and lady GaGa are idols in this ever chaining, fast paced world; they lift up the idea of "living like your young" "forgetting tomorrow" "going with the flow", in short, they promote "doing what you want"- they fail to realize the destructive message they sent out.
Obesity stems from overindulging on a desire for food; it comes from a lack of control and weak self-discipline. Perhaps it is not the lack of drive, but the source the drive that leads to gluttony. If we want to get a grip on our eating addictions, we must hand over the stronghold to God- only HE can break it.
And that's exactly what I plan on doing: I want to tame my eating disorder by giving the problem to God. (I suffer from bulimia- eating a whole lot and throwing it up. Also I have traces of anorexia- I have gone over 5 days without consuming anything but water) Not to mention that I am a college freshmen, and am discovering the dreaded "Fish 15", as well as dealing with the whole 'College is the time to explore your options, and go crazy" thing. I am surrounded by pressure, and tempted every second of the day. I can NOT break this food-frenzy stronghold on my own, i need Gods help.
So, over the course of 1 month I am going to perform the following:
1) Pray daily before classes that God strengthen me
2) Pray before every meal
3) Spend less time watching, reading, and or engaging in anything "food promoting" and instead watch things like "Biggest Loser," "Supersize vs Superskinny," or use my time to watch sermons, or listen to Christian podcast. --> theses will motivate me in my Walk
4) Find a accountability partner (I suppose my roommate will work)
5) Dive into the bible daily.
This blog is a challenge to myself to get my walk right with Christ, and break my stronghold of food.
I thank you for your interest in this subject! I need all the backup I can get!
God bless
xoxo,
Victoria Blackwell
