Food controlled me!

In my blogs lately I have been laying out some stuff that you were amazed that I did that sort of thing!

In your weight journey it is really helpful and good to face what your doing and why you done it.

When I started this path 25 months ago I felt I needed to face why I overate. To succeed I knew I needed to face reality and be aware of my weak points.This was before I joined Weight Watchers. This is my own!

Why was I eating the way I was? You know the addiction. Why did I have to have all the food I was consuming? I was a glutton and I have asked forgiveness for this.

I remember times when my family income was sufficient and we had lots of food but I also remember the "most of the time. Most of the time in my upbringing food was a challenge to buy. I remember getting commodities. There was peanut butter, cheese, that canned meat, and butter. Enough calories to make a fat child! We would eat that stuff like there was no tomorrow!

I remember the comforting feeling I had to be able to eat my fill. So I carried that feeling into my adult life. Food was my comforter.

This is one reason I overate. I needed comfort. There are more reasons and I will share them in the days to come.

To overcome this part of me...... I had to seek comfort in something else. Mine was God.

Does food comfort you? If it does you need to face why! Coming to terms with why, will help you succeed. You are aware of it and you will recognize it when it is trying to control you.

In Jesus,
