Hebrews 12:16

Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God’s lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite.
— The Message
Make sure that no one is immoral or godless like Esau, who traded his birthright as the firstborn son for a single meal.
— New Living Translation

Ouch! What blessing am I sacrificing on the altar of food? How would God use me differently if not saddled by an extra 60 pounds? Eating to satisfy my food lust is wrong and will cost me. I must change.

Lord, I cannot do this alone. Help me!
