A Time for Everything

I have been reading. This obsession with food? For goodness sake get over it. Compulsive over-eating, compulsive under-eating? Instead just eat normal nutritious food 3 times daily, don't snack much, don't worry over food at all, if you have allergies then eat sensible substitutes, make sure you use the calories you have taken in by exercising in a variety of ways. You are made to eat a little more sometimes, and a little less sometimes. Nature has designed us for hard work at times, and rest at times, in the same way that nature has designed us for feast and famine, but not for on-going gluttony nor for on-going starvation.

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

I do weigh myself regularly. Why? I like to monitor my weight because a sudden change in weight, up or down, can indicate that something is very wrong. Also I guess because I collect statistics about everything.... It's the mathematician in me.

Be careful about choices. Deciding it is always better to take one particular course of action. Remember, there are seasons.
