This weekend was the Semiannual General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and for once I listened to all four sessions. The main theme I hear throughout all of it was service and staying on the path.
The one I want to look at right now is, staying on the path. I have been struggling with my food because I just want to eat all the time and I don't want to have to give up any of the things I like. I had just started to eat a big bowl of jello and whip cream while listening to Elder Robert D. Hales and I heard for a second time today that the Lord told his disciples that they needed to stay away from their old ways and do what he had asked them to.
I realized I have been going back to my old ways and I thought, "I will be better after this jello". The problem with that is it is always,"just after my next snack/binge i will do better", that cannot be my mindset. I must stop myself right away. Before I could take another bite I got up and poured it into the garburator. I need to focus on eating things that uplift my body and spirit. I only want good energy put into my body so that only good energy is going out of my body. When I realize I am eating something that is not giving me good energy I need to just spit it out and get rid of it. As soon as I am aware I must stop.
