Why I Eat

This is a very complex issue. I eat when I am happy, sad, bored, etc. So, there is definitely a problem that I have with food. It's like a drug to me. I have to face that and deal with it!

I am a believer in Christ. When I overeat, His Word convicts me, and I feel terribly guilty that I let this sin of overeating control my life. This has been weighing on my mind for some time now. So, with His help, and the support of AD, friends, and family, I am once again trying to exhibit self-control by yielding to His Spirit and will for my life.

I was reading someone's blog last week, and she had posted the following acronym. When one feels this way and is about to make bad choices, it is a good idea to be aware and take steps to avoid a binge. Makes perfect sense!

H---hungry
A---angry
L---lonely
T---tired
