Oof, I've eaten like crap over the past four or five meals. I'm really feeling sluggish and weak because of it. I must get back to eating smaller and healthier but I'm still so full from my IHOP breakfast that I just can't fathom eating anything else right now. It's so easy to slip from eating well to eating poorly and yet so difficult to slide the other way.
Let this be a lesson to me, please. You'd probably never know it by looking at me but I think that food is something I've struggled with over the years. It's a definite weakness of mine and I find myself (after the fact) eating out of desire and for comfort rather than hunger or need. I've only stumbled like this a million times and yet it feels inevitable that I will fail again in this regard. How can I struggle with something when I know better both intellectually and through experience?
I suppose that "the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."
