He's still working on me

I have not posted in quite awhile.
I know God is working on me, but I cannot seem to open up about it. It is hard to describe.
However, I am going to try to post more often just to see if I can dig into how to explain what is going on.
I am faithful to study my workbook. My worship and prayer time with God is so awesome. My eating habits slip and slide, yet I feel like God is teaching me some things that are so needful to me. I am spiritually like I was physically when I broke my ankle. I did not get to walk on my ankle and I forgot how to walk, truly. I was used to walking with a walker, and the dr. did not allow me to put weight on my foot at all. From January to May I obeyed him, but when the cast came off, he let me start walking. I limped so badly, and was discouraged about that although I was ecstatic to be walking again. I had to think carefully to do something I had done naturally for years.
I must think carefully, pray, and try to listen to God with this eating thing. Yet if I am not very careful, I start focusing on ME. Even though that is not what Thinwithin is about at all.
As God directs me to worship HIM, spend more time with HIM, think about HIM more, I find my focus is off food. YET SOME VERY bad habits need to be broken. I pray for the habit on focusing on God constantly; God is blessing me to do that. It is so easy to slide back into "me" mode at any given point.
God is so good, and the mercy HE has shown me keeps me so humble. I do desire to please HIM in this walk.

I think this is what God wants us to do-be real. This is how we will be free, and this is how we will help others. I like this post.
