I'm here again...

I'm back...I really need to decide what I'm going to do with food. Either be raw or don't be raw, but I don't want to be on this see-saw for life. And I really don't want to find out I have cancer one day, or MS or diabetes or high blood pressure, and realize "perhaps I could have prevented this."

I need to approach this not through my own discipline--because I have none--but through God's ability. I listened to a tape by Chuck Smith a few days ago when he happened to mention an anger problem he used to have. He could sometimes "control" it on his own, but not all the time and when he lost control, it was worse than usual because a lot was pent up. Finally, he gave it to the Lord and eventually one day realized he no longer had anger.

I have an eating problem which I can sometimes control, yet it has not gone away. I can't make it go away, but He can.

So many people are suffering from food. Either they don't realize it or don't know how to change. When everything in our society tells you to cook food, eat meat for protein, drink diet sodas, how can they learn what's right if nobody shows them?

I'm curious to figure out how much money we (United States) spend on treating illnesses and how much money we spend on weight loss products. Then, compare that to how much we spend preventing illnesses--betcha that number is mighty small.

There has to be a way to tell the world. I feel like the answer is inside of me, but not quite reachable yet.
