“Plate is full”

The plate is full/

I cannot eat the food

All the wonderful food is on the plate.

Chocolate, ice cream, doughnuts, cheesecake

Apple pie the American treat

Hot Dogs, Pastas, green bean casserole.

The cornucopia of food placed on the beautiful set table.

Do I dare stop and sit at the beautiful set table and indulge myself?

This table of food is talking to those that will listen.

“I am so beautiful one bite will not kill you” I hear coming from the chocolate.

Oh then the doughnuts voice spills over “I am so soft and sweet you will love me.”

The American treat says, “Take the pledge you can eat me with no guilt.”

The voices all around say those tempting words. “Only one bite, you can diet tomorrow, do not worry know one will know.” This is all so tempting. Why do events for church, business meetings, family affairs always there has to be food glorious food.

The larger than life buffet is cascading toward me consuming my every thought. It is like a giant ball of fire racing down the corridor of my life. Can I escape this towering inferno of food glorious food?

When did the food turn against me? When did the weight gain start the yoyo of weight tumbling on or slipping off to many times to talk about. I see no end to the cycle of weight this mistress has created in my fragile mind.

Food not so glorious any longer, deceitful, nagging, always waiting to tempt my lips.

Oh God I cry out for relief from this mesmerizing addiction that has totally consumed my every being.

I turn my food to You forgiver, redeemer, Father of Grace.

Allow this addiction not consume me any longer. Thank you Father in Heaven
