I was made for more!

So that a big step, coming out of the silence and talking about difficult stuff: diet.
At this time of the year everything is about diet. But what I am talking about is more profound that the occasional fast track weight loss.
For years I have been battling with weight. I have done numerous diet, lost a lot, once I was even a size ten. I announced loudly that was it, I threw all my old clothes but 2 years later I was at the biggest I ever been. OK I had a baby but it doesn't excuse. And I was so ashamed... I had let myself down ... I had not been strong enough...
Until I decided to change perspective, to not do it for body image but for my relationship with God.
I started this devotional "made to crave" and slowly I am changing my way of thinking. The problem is not that I have a sweet tooth or no willpower , the real problem is a spiritual weakness. Filling the gap with food but not with God.
So one step I took was prioritising. I stopped baking so much because to be honest if I bake , I eat...
So here we goes I am more than this and starting a journey of being more healthy spiritually and physically.
