Day 12 - Even Dieting is Spiritual

I've struggled a bit today with eating. I eat too many carbs and too much dairy right now. I need to learn to like veggies more and give them more priority. And I just need to eat more variety in general. I get lazy sometimes and just keep eating the same stuff. Time to get out the cookbooks!
I've been thinking about how all things are spritual. Even dieting is spiritual. Well, dieting is the wrong word, but you know what I mean. Following a healthy eating and exercising plan. It's about self-mastery. It's about overcoming the natural man. The natural man would like to pork out on sweets all the time because they taste good. And because they're numbing. But, unfortunately, like all numbing substances, they numb you from the Spirit too.
The Spirit can actually tell you what to eat, if you listen. Clearly God wants us to feed our bodies well and take good care of them. Why else would He have given us the Word of Wisdom?
So, as my own willpower is starting to wane (already), I'm going to lean on God's power.

Forgot to weigh myself this morning. Walked and jogged for 30 minutes. Kept food journal
