This month I would like to pay attention to my body more. I have so many questions of how my body is and how to use it to glorify God. What am I eating? What I am doing? When am I exercising? How am I presenting myself? What is my image? What signal/message am I sending to people? To men? How can I discipline myself?
I have learned that it starts with the little things. When I can control my little impulses, say no to the "small" temptations, deny the tiniest of indulgences, then I will be more confident and able to say no to the large tempations. So... one of my biggest weakness' is food... we all know how obesessed I can be with sweets, with burgers, with anything edible, chocolate. I know that if I can grab ahold of this one are of my life, the affects will be evident and gratifying in SOOOO many other areas.
Now I need a game plan... how do I curb my appetite? I have learned little tricks here and there over the past 8 months, and they have worked, but it's all a mind game. So really, the question is how do I curb my eyes' appetite? How do I give what I eat up to God? How do I glorify him with food? aaahh, so many questions!!
Any tips? Any Bible verses that help you? Or ones that just come to mind?
