Thanks for your shares. I was trying to show how the mind can take over, and our dis-ease can sneak in, and until we become aware, the issue is there, then we can recognize it as an old behaviour, habit and way of thinking.
I didn't think I had an eating disorder, until I learned to look at the feeling and thinking behind my disease of addiction, it doesn't matter what subject I used. I would look at myself and think "Fat!" and wouldn't eat; or I would think, "What is the use, I am fat any way." Most of the time, it wasn't fat, or no more than usual, but the swelling from my body as a result of diabetes and arthritis. What addict ever thought of throwing away and substance instead of using it first. One time a 12 Step call came into our group. No one else there had ever been on one, so I was elected to go with another member who had a car. It was my second 12 Step call. The lady was 70 years old and was upset with herself for throwing 1/3 of a 40 oz. bottle of vodka down the drain. I took one look at her and said, "It looks like you could use a hug." She got over a year in recovery, she joined the Women's Group, and she died sober. She also had food issues too. We were meant to cross paths. It made me aware that I had to apply the program to all parts of my life.
