It’s that time of year we all know and love: The Holiday Eating Season.
If you’d like a lie/truth chart that will help you renew your mind during the holidays, click here, as I am guest posting today at psychowith6.com. You can also enter a drawing there for a free copy of I Deserve a Donut (And Other Lies That Make You Eat).
I also had fun being interviewed by my friend, Melanie Wilson, on her podcast, the Homeschool Sanity Show, about the lies that make you eat. Â If you’d like to listen to the podcast, Â click here.
Hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!!
One of the lies I tell myself is that everyone else is eating is so it’s no big deal for me to eat it and also if it’s there, I can’t help myself, why not induldge? This definitely cause me to eat things that was not in my original plans. Working on renewing my mind and applying the Philippians 4:13 scripture to that area of my life. Thanks!
I think I’ve said those same things to myself a time or two (or a hundred). :) Philippians 4:13 is a good one – also Philippians 4:11. I can be content in all situations, even when everyone is stuffing themselves, and I’m not! :)
Love this list! It’s going on my refrigerator this season. :-) The lie that most often gets me is “I don’t know when I’ll get this again. I better eat as much as I can now.” Probably because there are certain things I only make once or twice a year. Good reminder that I can make it anytime I want, so I don’t HAVE to eat it now!
Thanks, Sunshine, I hope it helps. :) My biggest lie is that I have to try a little bit of everything – which is dangerous since we have Thanksgiving with friends and usually have at least four different types of pie! I guess I should have included that lie on the list. :)
Great list Barb! I’ll have to listen to the podcast too. My wife is planning on homeschooling our son. He’s 3 now. Blessings & Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks, Dave. I bet you’ll enjoy homeschooling. Our oldest is 26 now, so we’ve been homeschooling for 21 years. It’s been pretty wonderful overall!
Had a chance to listen to the podcast – great stuff, Barb! Such a great and practical way to renew our minds.
Thanks, Loren. I appreciate the encouragement! Thanks for listening.
