If you are struggling to create healthy eating habits…Joyce has some advice for you!
CAN I HAVE A PERMISSION TO TALK
TO YOU FOR A FEW MINUTES
ABOUT EATING?
YOU SET BOUNDARIES
ON YOUR EATING.
YOU SAY, “OKAY, I’M GONNA EAT
DESSERT ONE TIME A WEEK.”
CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING?
NOW, I KNOW THAT MOST YOU DON’T
THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE
POSSIBLE BUT IS IT POSSIBLE FOR
YOU TO COME TO
HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA
AND NOT EAT ONE BITE OF
CHOCOLATE THE WHOLE TIME
YOU’RE HERE.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: THAT IS TOTALLY
AND COMPLETELY POSSIBLE.
AND SEE, HERE’S WHERE A LOT OF
PEOPLE GO OFF.
WELL, IT’S LIKE,
“WELL, IT’S CHRISTMAS.
WELL, IT’S THANKSGIVING.”
WELL, WHY DOES EVERY HOLIDAY
HAVE TO BE AN EXCUSE TO GET SO
FULL THAT YOU’RE MISERABLE?
OH, BOY.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
JOYCE: YOU MAKE YOUR OWN
PLAN.
I’M JUST TELLING YOU THAT YOU
GOTTA HAVE SOME BOUNDARIES.
OKAY, IF YOU LOVE SODA POP, THEN
DON’T EAT, DON’T DRINK
THREE A DAY,
HAVE THREE A WEEK.
EAT PASTA ONCE A WEEK.
NOW, HERE’S A GREAT ONE.
WHEN YOU FIRST FEEL FULL, WHEN
YOU FIRST FEEL THE FEELING OF
FULL, QUIT EATING.
YOU KNOW, WHAT I DO WITH MY
PLATE, I MAKE THEM COME GET IT,
TAKE IT.
HERE’S ANOTHER GOOD ONE.
DON’T KEEP THINGS IN YOUR HOUSE
YOU DON’T WANT TO EAT,
THAT’S A BOUNDARY.
JUST DON’T TAKE IT HOME.
DON’T TAKE THE CHOCOLATE HOME
FROM HERSHEY THAT YOU’RE ALL
GONNA WANT TO TAKE HOME UNLESS
YOU WANT TO EAT IT.
NOW, IF YOU WANT TO EAT IT,
HAVE AT IT.
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH
EATING IT.
I’M JUST TALKING TO PEOPLE THAT
EITHER WANT TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT,
YOU WANT TO FEEL BETTER.
AND I DON’T EVEN DO THIS KIND
OF STUFF.
I MEAN, YES, I DO IT PARTIALLY
BECAUSE I WANT TO KEEP MY WEIGHT
AT A CERTAIN PLACE, BUT MAINLY,
I HAVE TO FEEL GOOD TO DO WHAT
I’M DOING.
AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN
THE BODY OF CHRIST THAT ARE SICK
AND TIRED AND YOU GET SICK AND
TIRED OF LISTENING TO ALL THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE SICK AND TIRED.
WE SHOULD BE FULL OF ENERGY,
AND ZEAL, AND ENTHUSIASM, AND
WE’RE NOT GONNA GET IT JUST BY
PRAYING.
WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE
SOME CHANGES.
