Dieting Again
I've been dieting most of my life. Being a tall girl for my age, I got teased about my weight when they lined us up in the school gymnasium and took our height and weight. All these little short kids weighed 45 pounds and here I was 5 foot tall and weighing 100 pounds. They thought I was a giant!
It's all in our perspective. I remember returning to my elementary school and walking the halls as an adult and they were so small! When I was younger they seemed so big. It seems to me the longer I walk with God and grow up in Him, the smaller my problems look to me. All things next to God are insignificant, but "if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20)
So I must have faith that I can overcome this issue of constant dieting and insurmountable temptations that come my way through eating out at restaurants, conference buffets, and candy piled up in dishes around our office. Lord please give me the self-discipline to feed this body you have made for me in a way that honors You. Thank you for your perspective on life, food, and dieting. Amen.

It's hard for me to resist good Mexican food!
Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
