Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Cor. 10:31
As I am now into my 2nd full year since having weight loss surgery, I can truly say I can sum up my life as a former obese, yet fat brain still having self in the title of this blog, One More Bite. Looking back at my life, I know realize that learning to process my emotions as a young child would have made the biggest difference. Our emotions are in need of a container, a place to put them, a safe place to process, then heal. Not having a safe place causes us to construct one ourselves out of the things that are around us, and as the obesity rate increases in this country, more people are using the false container of food to release emotions through. When dealing with emptiness as a child the goal is to fill it with something. The thought that I need just one more bite to top it off would be the thing I need to finally fill my stomach. The issue was, my stomach wasn't what was empty, it was my heart. Not the organ called my heart, the core of me called my heart. That place of belonging. That place called home, where it's safe, where I can reveal my heart without fear of rejection, or abandonment. A place where I belonged and was fully known. The place where I could finally be free and accept me for who I am, just how I am. The only way I could do anything for His glory is to be able to do it with all my might with all that I am so I could finally stop wanting "One More Bite". Through much healing, that is still ongoing, my placed called home is in the Father's embrace where all are welcomed and all that are called by His name can finally find rest. We can taste and see that He is good, then the one more bite from the worlds table will entice us, no more!
