Food Addiction is a disease of the mind, body and spririt for which there is no cure but the disease can be arrested one day at a time by the actions of weighing and measuring your food and following a simple 12 step program.
Food Addiction is similar to any other addiction... Food can be used as a drug to comfort you or change your emotions... Eating can calm your nerves, give you pleasure or help you tune out disturbing emotions.
How do I know about this? I am a Food Addict in Recovery. I attend meetings that support my recovery and I know that using food as a drug or as a coping tool is not healthy for me. Eating is to fuel my body not a recreational sport. LOL

Oh, my goodness Juilee! I LOVED reading you blogs. I just enjoy your honesty, your encouragement, your love for others who can benifit from your new way of life and your love for the Lord. I love you a great deal and I hope to keep in touch with you more often...I graduate on June 12th at Cal State Hayward (friday night at 6pm). It's on a friday night, but just wanted to let you know. However, I really love your honesty and integrity...Your blog is really encouraging. The Lord has really been showing me some things about myself lately and a lot of it dates back to my youth! A lot of insecurities and low self esteem issues (and for me as well, it all begin with the help of Terry Fulton and LS411)... But through the word of God and the HG I have seen a lot of myself lately and I'm thankful for it. That's why I love your honesty because that is what's needed, you have to be honest with yourself before you can really begin to work on yourself. Any way, I can go on but I'm working so I'll refrain here. I hope to see you soon...
ReplyDeleteI love you much!

Thanks LIl Sis,
ReplyDeleteI would not miss your graduation for the world. WE can overcome any insecurity we have... his wings touch wall to wall.
Those are his promises and they belong to us.
The tabernacle... he overcame himself and then paid the price for us.
Wow what a wonderful God we have.
Where would I be with out the Lord?
Lifeskills 411 and the vision of Mr. Parker (no relation) and Mr. Fulton have changed us all where we can not face whats inside our hearts and get out what is not clean and replace it with what is.
What a process.
Sending up the smoke...
Wow
Love U
