1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
This is in relation to how the church in corinth was being insensitive to the members of the church that couldn't afford food and to the people that didn't get there right away and didn't get food becuase it had been eaten already. But I think it's a good weight loss plan. Very pro-active. "God, if I eat this, will it glorify you? Didn't think so..put the cookie down."
There's this song by Frou Frou called Let Go and the chorus is "so let go, let go, there's beauty in the breakdown". It was odd that I was listening to it right as I was realizing the things I can actually do to get closer to God and really figure out who he is. Two verses that I've had memorized for years I think I'll pray to adhere to every morning now.
Joshua 24:15
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve..but as for me and my household, we will serve the lord.
Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do , work at it with all year heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Since you know you will recieve an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

of course, that's the plan--and not something i have been 100% successful at. but i intend to keep at it, with your verse from Corinthians in mind.
thanks for the daily Scriptural shot-in-the-arm. :)
