Emotional Triggers - As I begin to see that food has a strong hold on me I also recognize a need to examine my reasons for eating. I took one of those surveys recently designed to help me identify my weak areas and guess what? After scoring my responses it was determined that I need to manage my feelings in order to control my eating habits. I need to be aware of those emotional triggers that set me off to the kitchen in search of comfort. "Dah, ya think?" was the first thought that came to mind.
Would you describe your relationship to food as a stronghold? Stronghold is defined as: vice like grip, or stranglehold. Does this resound with you? Do you ever feel like your eating habits have a strong grip on your life? You are not alone, and you are not hopelessly incurable! I am learning to turn to God, and pray for guidance as I surrender to Him.
Scripture encouragement for today is from Ephesians 3:20 (MSG): "God can do anything, you know -- far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us."
Grace and Grins,
