What can we do after we have broken our boundaries during holidays, vacations, or dining out? We can renew our mind. This is how I might do it:

What can you do to ensure you won’t give in to eating outside of your boundaries today and tomorrow? What will you do about the mistakes that have happened previously so that they don’t dictate what happens next?
Thank you once again Heidi for sharing the way you renew your mind before a big event and after eating too much. It is very inspirational for me to see your intimacy with the Lord. I love Psalm 51, and I always ask God to give me a willing spirit. It is so hard to surrender to the Lord, and I just pray that with daily practice it will get easier. Thanks again and Happy Easter to all.
Happy Resurrection Day to all! Thanks, Lisa, for your kind comments. Hgs!
Well, isn’t this good timing! I am going on vacation next week and will have to eat every meal out – yikes! But, I will bring my journal and my scripture/renewing mind goals/praise fest/truths index card book. I will review my goals morning and more and make sure that I spend time with the Lord. Oh, and I’ll enjoy the beach with my husband and children!!
You can do it, CMK!
CMK, how is it going? I am praying you do well on your vacation with continuing to renew your mind about food!
Easter was a beautiful day here. Just gorgeous! I have a hard time around the holidays with being tempted to eat more since I find I’m a bit of a social eater (which I’m excited to renew my mind about in the upcoming study). But I found myself really struggling at dinner this Easter. I ate way too much. Why? Because I was feeling very deprived. Why? Because I have been eating very restrictively. Why? Because of something with my “health”. It’s nothing too serious (my health), but all of those old diet mentalities have been rearing their ugly heads. I ate so much for that Easter dinner that I literally felt sick and had to go to bed early because I felt so awful.
I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place right now.
When things seem impossible, that is when we are perfectly positioned for the miracle that gives all glory to God!
