When I quit smoking, it took several months before I could confidently say that I didn’t want a cigarette at any given moment.  Same was true when I regularly smoked marijuana or drank alcohol.  I didn’t succeed at quitting those things because my desire to have them went away, I succeeded because DESPITE the desires, I didn’t give in to what my body desperately wanted.

I need to accept that the same concept has to apply to food.  What I am seeing is that I was waiting on a magic solution that would take away my desire to eat mashed potatoes, ice cream, and pasta by the truck load.  Instead, what I need to focus on is being able to control and deny my flesh even when I don’t want to.

“Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master." Genesis 4:7
