The Chuck-a-Rama principle

For those of you on the east coast, Chuck-a-Rama is a restaurant. Buffet to be exact.
Kind of like a Golden Corral, but better.

Anyways, at a Relief Society meeting my stake had this weekend (Geared towards women over 18), we learned about something call the 'Chuck-a-Rama Principle'. Now, because it's Chuck-a-Rama, it immediately sounded good. And in theory it does.... if it were possible...


The theory is that if you go to a buffet, you can stuff yourself so full that you ache. you don't want to move you're so full. and as you sit there and digest the insane amount of calories you've just taken in, you feel as if you won't have to eat for at least another couple of days.

As I'm laying in bed, that's how I feel. I wish I could just go eat a bowl of cereal now, and then that would save me time in my morning routine.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. No matter how much you stuff yourself the night before, you are still going to need breakfast the next day. If not some kind of snack in the next couple of hours even.  It is inevitable that your body is going to become hungry again soon, and need nourishment. If you don't eat consistently, you will become weak.


This principle was applied to spiritual things. you can't expect to feast upon the words of Christ and feel the His spirit so sufficiently one day a week, that you're full for the rest of the week. By the next day, you are hungry again. And in fact, if you don't eat and feast continually, you become weak.


There is no steady line where you can sit. you are either filling yourself, or declining and preparing for your next meal when you are hungry again.

One time is not going to cut it. You WILL weaken if you are not continually feeding yourself- if you are not feasting.
-and in the words of my religion teacher last semester, you need to feast, and feast until you are round and fat. and then you need to ring the dinner bell and share that feast with those that can't seem to find it. There are others out there looking for the feast that you so delightfully sit at. Ring the dinner bell and share it with them. and do it more than just once a week, or when you're told, or when you feel like it. do it constantly. there are people out there starving for Christ.

Remember the buffet, and go to it every single day. you're life will be so much more blessed and your spirit so much more strong if you take the time to feast every day, rather than hoping that just Sunday will cut it.
