It Is NOT About the Food

My relationship with food - I never gave much thought to my relationship with food before now. As I get older one of the motivators to getting my eating habits under control are health related. I don't want to have problems with my hips and knees, I want to be able to enjoy my prime, my retirement.

I started to read books about eating disorders, about food addiction and I could see myself. Even the leader of the Weight Watchers class I attend says that eating is not only a physical issue but a mental, emotional and spiritual one too. That really got my attention.

I am turning to a journal to record my feelings and emotions in an attempt to uncover what is really going on. I am trying to identify those times when I am most vulnerable to the lure of food. Then I am taking it one step further and trying to recognize where I am spiritually during these times of weakness and temptation.

How are you doing on this journey? Do you have any thoughts to share? Please do.

Scripture encouragement for today is from Isaiah 41:13 "For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you"
