Re: lost and confused

I can go to either side of the eating spectrum. Both not eating and overeating. It's an emotional thing, not an eating thing. I vowed to overcome over and over, just like you, and nothing worked. Then I got to the point where my Depression was just too overwhelming and I couldn't handle anything. That's when I learning to take each moment as it comes. Right now, this very moment, I can control myself. And if I can't I know that I can pray about it. By doing that I have relearned what full feels like and how to stop when I am full. That's something that you lose when you overeat. But you CAN relearn it!! BUt first you need to take each moment as it comes. That much you CAN handle!

The Lord isn't condemning you either! He loves you! He wants you well! He knows that control over eating isn't the real problem. He knows that it's much deeper and overeating and binging are the outside symptoms. He also knows that, if He is patient, you will again be able to turn to Him for support and love. And His arms will be wide open and He will be smiling with all His love for you shining in His eyes. What you feel for yourself is not what He feels for you. Jesus just simply loves you, and always will.

God bless and keep you while you struggle through this.
