What is wrong with me? Why am I such a failure? "Stop right there," I hear the voice say. "You are here, ready to admit the need to start again. How can that be failure?"
As you can probably tell, I have lots of talking going on in my head, but it is all good. I have the right answers and I know all the right moves to make...it is just acting on them. Yesterday I was talking with a friend who has the same issues I have. We agreed that we know how to do all right things to lose weight. We know the right things to each and we even acknowledged that we like those things we should be eating.
So, what is the problem? Indeed, this is the $64,000 question, but I suspect I have the answer and you most likely do as well. It isn't my lack of willpower, it is my lack of asking God for His willpower. I am weak, but He is strong. There is a favorite saying in the recovery world, "I can't, God can, I will let Him!"
Face it, food is an addition for some of us and the recovery world is a wonderful place to come and experience healing. Christian recovery in the form of Celebrate Recovery is the place for me. Step 3 says, I will consciously commit my life and my will to God's control and care. Get that wording...control and care?
Let's do this thing together? Are you ready...I am!
