God's timing is amazing!!!

Something that was very recently pointed out to me is that my stress level is high.  While this is not really new news to me, it made me realize that I need to be more aware of my stressors and how I deal with them.
For example, I absolutely HATE the fact that I'm overweight, yet I overeat to (supposedly) cope with stress.  Now isn't that a healthy solution???

The Bible CLEARLY states...

"Be not anxious for what you shall eat, or what you shall drink ... 

or what you shall wear ... Isn't life more than food?

 ...and the body more than clothing?"  -Luke 12:22; 29

"Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds 

from the mouth of God."  -Matthew 4:4

"The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, 

but righteousness and peace,

 and joy in the Holy Spirit."  -Romans 14:17

"Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit ... 

therefore, glorify God in your body."  -I Corinthians 3:16; 6:19-20

Beginning tomorrow, October 27th, I have to keep a food diary for one of my classes.  This accountability will be great for me!  Here are the instructions for the assignment: 

"List all of the food and drink you consume and estimate as closely as possible the quantity and caloric content of each item.  Provide responses for the columns labeled Time, Meal or Snack, Where Consumed, Feelings Before Eating, and Alone."   

The template also includes several questions at the end of the daily chart.

I would like to ask that you please pray for me, that I will begin to (once again) have the will power to turn away from food and turn TO our Heavenly Father.  That is the ONLY way I will truly be able to overcome this horrible habit and also eliminate some of this pointless stress in my life!  I need to be healthy in order to be who God designed me to be!
