The holidays are a challenging time for me. As soon as I see those enticing, sugary treats, view that bowel of "Texas trash", and smell the aroma of the briskett baking in the oven, my primal instincts take over giving me the desire to eat everything in sight. I eat too much, I eat the wrong things, and I feel terrible afterwards. I ask, "Why?"
I'm doing better than I used to do. My wife does in fact fix "treats" that are healthy and devoid of white sugar, and she does arrange the treats around the house to discourage stuffing.
And maybe the unpleasant experiences of previous holidays have taught me, "It simply isn't worth the temporary fix I get from junk food to endure the discomfort."
I don't know. With such wonderful times that go with the holiday....family, laughter, good feelings, God's goodness....it is a shame to ruin it by eating too much and eating "junk". Couldn't we just change our customs a little to exclude anything that is harmful to the body.
We might be amazed to know that God designed foods which are complete nutritionally, but are also wonderful to eat. I'm afraid in this "already made to eat" world, homemakers have lost the art of preparing the food as God designed it without altering its nutritional content. <
Just a thought.
