In the last few months I've been forced to reanalyze how I've been eating, becoming more rigid in what I allow myself to eat with regards to corn. I've had to eliminate a lot more out of my diet including yeast, sugar (I can still have evaporated cane juice), and more. I was afraid stand up for myself and let myself suffer instead of aggravating certain people who often cooked for me. But I've come to learn that this type of suffering isn't honorable in ANY way. God did not intent for us to suffer in silence for something that does not glorify Him or anybody else. I was doing this only to avoid confrontations.
How many of us eat or behave a certain way to appease others? Maybe it doesn't seem obvious, but have you ever let yourself eat unhealthy food constantly because you didn't know how to ask your significant other to use a healthier alternative? Many of us were raised to eat whatever was served in front of us when we go over somebody else's house. But at expenses of our bodies? Where does the line begin and end when it comes to respecting others and ourselves. I truly do believe that if our bodies isn't in a tip top shape, it affects how we live our lives.
How would you handle this type of situation?
