Self Control

It's something I do not have much of. I get so frustrated at myself that I cannot eat just half of a piece of cake but instead feel the urge to finish. I even get frustrated that I want the dessert. I console myself as I gulp down my 4th bowl of hot sauce that I will not be eating much for dinner but what do I do? I eat the entire chimichunga! Grr... I promise myself that I will glorify God with my speech but then what happens? Yep, you know it. I gossip! UGH! I tell myself that when you get angry at the kids and yell at them it doesn't help. I seem to forget that when we're in the heat of the moment. (I will say this is one area that God is really working on me and it's getting through a bit better!) Why is self control such a problem for me? Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any ways to get more self control? A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls. Proverbs 25:28
