Day 7 Experience... Doing Good as a Vegan

Day 7..... of my challenge. It has not been so bad. I have been enjoying different recipes from couscous to lentil soup and some cinnamony apples. I have not been hungry at all. I have kept myself full with periodic meals every 3-4 hours. I feel good and light. I have lost about 3 lbs so far. I thought I was going to miss meat or chicken.... not really. I believe I can live without eating meat or poultry on a weekly basis.

I did do a lot of thinking before I grabbed something to eat. I had to ask myself, "Am I really hungry or am I just eating out of boredom or because of socialization." With this particular question, I was able to target my motive for eating. There were a few occasions I  had to put stuff back. It was an eye opener and I feel like I have gained more self control in this area. After all, God does call us to exercise the "Fruit of the Spirit," Galatians 5:22-23....One of which is Self control. I wonder how many times we give in to this area of our lives. Instead of exercising the authority God has given us, we fall slave to the habitual choices made daily. I encourage you to become aware of your decisions not only in regards to the food choices, but spiritual choices in your walk with Christ. Take sometime for prayer and see the areas God is speaking to you about.

I realize that as I am ministering to my body with healthy foods; at the same time, God is ministering to me, teaching me his ways and the goodness I deserve.

Thanks for reading.... Feel welcome to post comments on your challenge
