I mentioned last week that this was one of the books I read when I’ve started rethinking my diet and exercise.

For a very long time I’ve been ruled by my desire for food. This is a continuing struggle, a minute-by-minute struggle. I don’t understand it’s power over me, other than that I’ve let it have that power.

In Made to Crave, Lysa Terkeurst makes the valid point that we’re made to desire, to crave. We were designed to desire God, but we seek to fulfill our desires through other means, and for me, that often means food.

I really wish that food was something you could quit. But, since you can’t, I have to figure out what moderation means.

I definitely recommend this book. I think that this was a good approach to overeating issues. There is a book that I like even better on this issue, but I’ll save that review for next week. For a more in-depth review of Made to Crave, check out Carrie’s review.
