That's another very for question.

I have been struggling with two parts of the same problem for a while:

1. Spending too much on convenience food at work, and

2. Some of that food is terrible and I know I shouldn't be eating it.

I have a fairly bad relationship with food. I'm totally addicted and an emotional eater. This is something I need to stop, and soon, before I literally eat myself to a very awful death.

Knowing this, I decided to be humble and ask God for help with this, and the few days after that prayer, every podcast I listened to mentioned fasting and prayer. Every. Single. One. And NONE of them were on that topic at all. So I took the hint.

Originally, I was only going to do a four day fast, since it was convenient as I was working a block of closing shifts this week and that honestly made it easier to avoid familial social pressure to eat dinner with the family. But, as I was contemplating the fast and considering how I wanted to break it, I had decided that I wanted to break it with a ginormous fatty grilled steak. Originally, this was to be a brunch this morning, but then, at the prompting of the Holy Spirit, it occurred to me that I should feast with my family. I'll buy steaks for everyone (my first task of the day) and cook dinner and share a meal with great joy and gladness!
