Story behind the song
Even after having lost over 50 pounds (which I've kept off for about 2 years), and becoming a certified in personal training, pre/post-natal fitness, and aerobics, I STILL find myself in a battle where overeating is concerned. It's a daily struggle, and I wrote this song to encourage myself at the front lines (the DESSERT table!!)! :) I hope it encourages you too.
Lyrics
Overeater's Victory Song(He Fills Me Up) Words and Music by Marjorie Savoie Copyright 2004 When I'm stressed, I confess - I overeat! It fills my belly but my soul is incomplete What started on my lips Has landed on my hips And now I'm stuck in guilt and self-defeat But the Lord has given me a victory song Cause I've figured out what I've been doing wrong I've been depending on the food To brighten up my mood And that kind of comfort doesn't last for long Chorus: But when I am empty He fills my cup And when I am broken He comes to build me back up When there's too much on my plate All I have to do is wait on him He'll help me And He fills me up! Verse 2: When my boss is givin' me an awful time A piece of chocolate always helps to soothe my mind But as soon as it is gone My search will just go on For something else to help me pass the time When my sweetie pie and I have had a fight Chips and salsa help to keep me warm at night But I find that in the end Junk food is not my friend It only helps to make to make my britches tight (chorus) Verse 3: I used to think no one could ever care for me When my body's not the way it ought to be But Jesus sees inside And He knows how hard I've tried And he died upon the cross to set me free This transformation's gonna take some time To change my body first I've got to change my mind But it'll change before my eyes With good food and exercise And the more I trust in Jesus I will find (Chorus)
