Do not run back to the relationship with food.<\/p>\n<p>Just going through the motions\u2014cutting the food in half and eating on small plates\u2014will not reform your devotion to food. You need to transfer your love to the God of the Universe who deserves your love. You will not lose weight for yourself or your own health; you will not be motivated to lose the weight for your children or your spouse. The loving fear of God is the only motivation that is strong enough to cause you to completely be converted. This transfer will come from you understanding that God requires this love for Him. God can help you get a new heart for Him.
