Food or Holy Spirit

Right now when people look at me and I hear their thoughts:

I know you have been walking a lot and I want to tell you that you look like you are losing weight, but I don't see it yet. So, I'm just going to keep smiling and staring.

And this makes me smile. I know that I am setting myself up for success. My goal is to lose one pound per week. It will take a long time to get to my goal and I'm ok with that. I am on a journey to depend on God as the fulfillment of my hunger. I have a conviction that I have satisfied the cries of my heart by feeding my stomach. I have depended on food to satisfy instead of leaning on the Holy Spirit.
