eating the Word instead of the junk

I love to eat and I eat too much. I need to lose 15 pounds. I have lost 3 this month since starting. I have cut my calories back and now am working out again. Tonight I am going to a food talk about portion control. That is something I really need to have beat into me. Portion control. I love big helpings and I really like 2nds of food that I like. I like to crunch, I like candy, cookies, the like. I want to eat more fruit and veggies. I really need to transform this part of who I am.

What I need to do is replace physical food with spiritual food just like Jesus tells the apostles when they were looking for food for him and just like He told the devil when he said Man cannot live on bread alone, he must feast on the Word of God (paraphrase) Matthew 1. The more I feast on Him the less I need to overeat the other stuff. I overeat the other stuff because I am not feasting enough on Him; not relying on Him and not filling myself up with HIM. I pray to do this better, often, daily, always and forever.
