As a Counselor, I see many women each week. In the past few weeks the majority of my appointments have been women struggling with Food. It is a hard balance to find.
1. What food do I eat
2. Am I eating to little
3. Am I eating to much
4. Why do I have an emotional attachment to food
5. Why do I have a fear of food
How do you find balance in your relationship with food? These are the lessons I am learning as I listen to others and to my own personal struggle with this relatioship...
Food is to fuel our body... we need it! So if we need it, what do we eat.
Listen to your body! I encourage everyone to eat "real food" not "fake" processed food. Start a journal of what food makes you feel what way. This way you can learn what food is right for you and what your body doesnt handle as well.
Food should not be something to fill time, hurt, emotions.
Dont hate it! Because we need it!
Today... is a Hungry day for me... I can listen to my body and give it healthy food it needs or I can deprive it ending up moody, headachy, obsessing over food, and a number of other things....The best freedom is when you can not focus on food but focus on that God made our bodies to know when and what it needs... its a hard balance to find!
