I stare at the treats in the grocery store and debate; should I buy them or should I not?

Then I look at the list of ingredients.  Usually they have a high percentage of at least one thing I know I shouldn’t put in my body.  So, why buy it if it’s bad for you?  

Because my body still craves the treats.  I be afraid If I don’t buy them at all, then near the end of the night or at some inconvenient time, my body will start to crave the treats and I’ll be in misery.  But if  I do buy them,  I often eat way more than I should because they are at my disposal. Sometimes I call myself taking a small portion.  But then I go back for another small portion.  And repeat until only a small portion is left.  And then I tell myself there’s no point in leaving that little so I eat that too.  In one setting I exceed the amount I wanted to eat.

Then I tell myself there you go again. If you hadn’t brought it, you wouldn’t have eaten so much of it. I gotta stop buying stuff if it’s not good for me.  So, to satisfy my cravings for these treats and to keep my body from deteriorating I started looking into healthier alternatives after I saw this cooking show where the chef made some tasty treats using healthy ingredients.  So now that’s going to be my new thing!  Getting the same good taste in a treat without the bad ingredients.  

Scripture reference:

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
