Do you ever have a really long day that is completely stressful and horrible, and whether you are folloing and eating plan or not, you see a big 7 layer gooey chocolate cake and you say to yourself, "I deserve that." Obviously it isn't always chocolate cake, it could be 1,000 different things: pizza, McDonalds, ice cream, french fries, anything "bad." So what in our minds tells us that when our day is awful we deserve something bad? Especially in the kind of portion we are going to eat when we say something like, "I deserve this."
If you have been reading my blog at all, you know I am NOT SAYING you should never have any of these food items - well maybe not the McDonalds but that's just me. But what I want to say today, is you should not being using food like some sort of drug to fix your problems. What are you really saying when you say "I deserve this"? You are saying - I deserve to poison my body. I deserve to be fat. I deserve to be unhappy? Why are you not worth anything? We need to figure out why you think this way. It might be a core belief you do or don't know you have.
Maybe you were told you weren't worth anything as a kid. Maybe you were treated that way. Maybe you figured you must not be worth anything because of something that happened. But no matter what you actually believe, you are worth something. You are worth a lot. You are created by God in His image and He loves you. He loves you enough to send his own son to die for you. And He wants to help you live a full and abundant life.
John 10:10 (Jesus says) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
The thief is a liar and he wants you to think you are worth nothing. God wants you to live a life of abundance.
