Taking a chronic dieter/foodie to a BBQ house is like taking a drunk to a bar and expecting them not to fall off the wagon.
“Look at this great deal! You get [sounds like nector], [sounds like ambrosia], and [sounds like food of the gods] for only [sounds like $1],” she said with eyes glowing like the sun. “You can split it with Ivan!” Oh, did she say split? Why yes, yes she did! So it’s only half the calories–which means half the fat–which means half of guilt. Done deal!
Oh Internet, why did I falter? Why did I put myself in a situation I knew I couldn’t withstand? Why did I think I could battle with temptation and come out the victor? Because I’m stupid, that’s why!
In reflecting about my Feast of Fatties last night, I realized two things in my morning food hangover:
1. You are never as strong as you think you are. 2. Temptation will come out the victor if you are not prepared for battle.
Yes, I said battle. My struggle is food and it’s not a secret. But we all have areas in our life where we battle. Paul the Apostle even struggled in doing the things he didn’t want to do and not doing the things he did want to do (Romans 7:15). It’s normal to struggle, it’s abnormal to think you can conquer temptation in your own power.
If you’re struggle is gambling, don’t hit the casinos. If you’re struggle is shacking up with your significant other, don’t think you can spend the night and nothing will happen. If you can’t handle drinking, don’t think you can chill at the bar with your friends.
At some point I hope to have the strength to go out to dinner and not be mastered by my stomach. But I know my areas of weakness. From a point of warning and struggle, Paul warns those who think they stand to be careful. Because yes, we can fall (1 Corinthians 10:12).
Cough it up. What’s your battle? Anonymous comments are allowed 😉 If you have found a way to thwart off temptation, share the goods!
