One must be careful with comfort food as it can turn into the enemy....meaning too many calories in all the wrong places. Eating too much and using food as a comfort has become one of my biggest sins. This is a cautionary warning by one who put comfort food in a place called idol and is battling with God's help to avoid these foods of comfort.
Learning to turn God into my place of comfort instead of the food. That being said..... Foods that have been used to sooth....sorrow, happy times, disappointment, anger, love, laughter, tears.......
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes, chili, corn bread with lots of butter and jelly (homemade of course), cake, potato chips bags of them, turkey with all the trimmings, chicken and dumplings.......gaining weight with each and every thought....
Just a note of hope to add to this comfort food thread.....
God loves You that's right You..... so when you are reaching for this food of comfort hold onto that thought and realize that God cares about every detail of your life and the food you are about to put into your mouth is really only there to help keep you alive it does not care about you, it is to serve a purpose and that is to sustain your life not to save you like Jesus has given His life to save you. I struggle every day to get back to the purpose food has in life and not to over indulge in any of it so choose wisely and remember your life is not your own that we have been bought with a price and that we now belong to God/Jesus/Holy Spirit.
Learn to make healthy choices and to give God the glory for your life and seek Him for the comfort that you need instead of food.
