So . . . after thinking about it, I came up with an exciting plan to celebrate. It’ll surprise you. So . . . can you guess what I did to celebrate?

Are you sitting down? To celebrate “National Food Day,” I chose not to eat. Yes, that’s right, I chose NOT to eat. Because food addiction, or rather the compulsion to overeat, had defeated me most of my life I decided to fight back.

Food addiction has forced me many times to overeat when I didn’t want to. And since I want to break free from this stronghold in my life, I decided not to feed it.

And guess what happened? I felt free all day. Although I did eat supper, it was healthy food.  Freedom tastes so good. Celebrate National Food DayI had been praying seeking God’s help to deal with this compulsion to overeat. Then the answer came through a news report. Go figure.

“Listen to my testimony: I cried to God in my distress and He answered me. He freed me from all my fears! Gaze upon Him, join your life with His, and joy will come. Your faces will glisten with glory. You’ll never wear that shame-face again, When I had nothing, desperate and defeated, I cried out to the Lord and He heard me, bringing His miracle-deliverance when I needed it most.
