You can't walk on water until you get yourself out the boat.

Failure is not an option. Failure is necessary...We try. We fail. We learn. We adjust.

When we generally make healthy choices about food (or wise choices about life), we tend to move in the right direction, living as we believe God wants us to live. If we make an intentional exception for a special treat or for a diversion, that might not be a big deal. But if we step off the best path, we're tempted to detour into more unwise choices. In that case, your decision does matter.

Because God loves us, he gives us the freedom to make choices. That's good news if we choose wisely. But it also gives us the capacity to sin.

Without being legalistic, we should be careful and wise in all decisions we make.

God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.
