Snacking is the downfall of many a healthy eating plan. Often, it’s easy to stick to your diet at meal times, get the nutrients you need, say no to seconds, and stop when you’re full.
But when those cravings hit mid-afternoon or late at night, it’s hard to do what you know is healthy.
As a girl who loves Jesus, you know that He offers you His strength in all of your weaknesses. He’s there to carry you through your struggles—even if those struggles include pie and cookies.
So, knowing Jesus is there, knowing He’s walking beside you and that He cares about you…why is it so hard to stop snacking?
If you’ve ever found yourself elbow deep in a bag of pretzels long after bedtime, you’ve probably thought, “How can I stop snacking so much?”
Sis, you’re not alone!
The great Apostle Paul says it best:
For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
Romans 7:15 (ESV)
I don’t think Paul was talking about snacking but the principle is the same. You love Jesus, you want to honor Him with your food choices, and you know it’s the right thing to do.
But why is it so dang hard?
This is a spiritual battle for which you need to turn to God’s Word and seek peace and comfort in Him.
