A lot of us have developed a diet mentality toward lust. we really want to cut back on lust because we know its not healthy and it makes us feel bad. but like some rich, calorie-laden chocolate dessert, lust is just too tasty to resist completely. surely god will understand if we break our diet and nibble a little lust now and then.

More From Joshua Harris

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl

I tried the paleo diet, which is the caveman diet - lots of meat. i tried the raw food vegan diet. and i tried the calorie restriction diet, which is the idea is that if you eat very, very little - if you're on the verge of starvation, you will live a very long time. whether or not you want to, of course, is the idea.

If i am incapable of washing dishes joyfully, if i want to finish them quickly so i can go and have dessert, i will be equally incapable of enjoying my dessert. with the fork in my hand, i will be thinking about what to do next, and the texture and flavor of the dessert, together with the pleasure of eating it, will be lost. i will always be dragged into the future, never able to live in the present moment.
Thinking Hands Together
My girlfriend loves to eat chocolate. she's always eating chocolate. and she likes to joke she's got a chocolate addiction. you know, she'd be like keep me away from those chocolate bars, i'm addicted to them. and it's really annoying. so one day i put her in the car and i drove her downtown and i pointed out a crack addict. and i said you see that honey? why can't you be that skinny?
Girlfriend Addiction Car
Every day after lunch when i was writing my first book, i'd nibble a square of fine chocolate and meditate on all that had gone into its creation: the sun and rain that spilled on the cocoa plant, the soil that nourished it, the hands that picked the beans, and so on. my taste of chocolate became a lesson on the interconnectedness of things, and the infinite blessings for which i am grateful.
