Tiffany. " As a man thinketh so is he...." Please consider how you are defining yourself. "I'm an extreme stress eater.....I'm a wreck." Is this how God defines you? No. You and I are made in His image and likeness. He is a God of love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self control. Fix your mind on Christ and nourish your soul with Spiritual food. That is the only food that will help you and I reduce any stress we find ourselves under. Physical food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food. That is all it is for. Food is not your comforter. God is your ever present help in times of trouble. Our outlook on life changes according to the perspective we choose to take. When you begin to say and believe truths like, " I love myself," " I am more than a conqueror," "I am whole," "I am at peace," " I am in control of what I eat. Food does not control me," you will begin to act in a manner and feel emotions that are consistent with these statements.
