When we eat right, we live right.
Order my living so that I may eat to serve You.
We don't have to abstain from eating, we need to abstain from eating the wrong foods. We need to make healthy choices. This was posted over 3 years ago, and I still go back into that old thinking when I am upset, depressed, lonely, and a lot of other emotions that keep popping up. They make me glad it is a one day at a time program.
I remember my sponsor saying to me, "How often did you drink to someone else's health, with an attitude of don't tell me what to do, I'll drink if I want to. I can have the same issues with food. The same thing with my pills, I would pop another one, just because I gave up my power, and let someone else push my buttons and I took things personally.
Just this week, when I bought the 20 Timbit Donuts, I intended to share them with my son. Because he spent money that was suppose to go to bills, I was very angry and decided that he didn't deserve the donuts. I ate them all. I had the thinking behind the eating, just like I had the thinking behind the drinking. How many times do you drink or eat to someone else's health, by thinking, I'll show them.
I use to resent my ex-husband and dad, because they would drink all the booze, pass out and go to bed, and leave nothing for me who still wanted to party. It was the start of hiding a stash for myself. The same thing with food, I would open the door and what I wanted or thought was there, was gone.
