Instead of getting all caught up in some ritualistic eating habits, I believe from God's perspective he would want me to enjoy my life. But, of course, as I realize now, enjoying life means that I take care of my eating habits to the glory of God.

As the situation is, the biggest obstacle in my decision concerning my
health and eating habits is the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. For 
some reason, she has taken my diet quite seriously as though it was 
hers. 

The quandary I am in is that she is the one who supervises the culinary
activities in the house. I have been barred from the kitchen for years 
because of an incident that happened a few years back, which I am not 
comfortable getting into right now. 

Being in a health-challenging situation right now, I do not have many
choices. It's either eat what the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage 
has produced or starve. Starving is not the particular exercise that I 
enjoy. 

I must admit my wife is a marvelous cook and makes very delicious meals,
which I am assured, are most healthy. From my point of view, if it does 
not have broccoli, then it is delicious. 

Her healthy array of desserts is mouthwatering. 

Therefore, I can do my own thing and be in a lot of trouble or allow the
Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage to do her thing and be in charge of 
the dietary activities in our home. 

In pondering this quandary that I am in, I realized a wonderful verse in
the Bible. "And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the 
good of all his labour, it is the gift of God" (Ecclesiastes 3:13). 

Instead of getting all caught up in some ritualistic eating habits, I
believe from God's perspective he would want me to enjoy my life. But, 
of course, as I realize now, enjoying life means that I take care of my 
eating habits to the glory of God.
