Worldly counsel

This has been a tough summer for me. I went through a couple of months of depression and spiritual attack. I also could not quit eating! I seriously do have an addiction to food. No matter how long I can control myself, that addiction is always there. If I have a bowl of ice cream, that will never be enough for me. I will always want another one or something else. When I begin to eat unhealthy, there is no stop to my rampage.
Well, this is something that I struggled with so much this summer. I just couldn't get out of the rut I had put myself in. Then, if I'm not eating right, of course I'm not gonna go and work out, sweating out the huge shake I just put down..no way! So I got to a point where I just wanted help.
Esteban and I had been watching this show Intervention. It's about drug addicts getting intervention from their loved ones. My mind started going. Why is it that they have these things for drug addicts but not for food addicts? I feel that I'm in as much bondage to food as they are to their drug. I was ready to go see a doctor. Then I spoke to my hubby...He began telling me that I have all the tools I need to be an overcomer in this area. I have the Holy Spirit inside of me and I have God's word. One of the fruits of the Spirit is self-control. Yikes. The world says that there is medicine that can help, or counseling. That's deception. I have God inside of me, more powerful than anything on the earth...yet I'm deceived to think He can't help me.
The Bible says in 1 Cor 3 "Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God...Therefore let noone boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come-all are yours. And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's."
We are in Christ! We have Him...what more do we need? Let's use His power to help us, to set us free!
