Just another day
Yesterday I was attacked by fear again. Although I didn't binge eat, my emotions still had the better of me and I let myself be miserable. As I was going for a walk yesterday I realized for the first time how much I was escaping these kind of emotions with food. I know it is true the binge eaters often eat to cope with emotions, but I didn't realize the extent in which I was using food as an escape. In the beginning, I honestly thought that I was just a glutenous food addict and couldn't stop. When I went for a walk yesterday, I was left there alone with my bad feelings and I didn't have food there to take me away from that. I'm very surprised I abstained from binging, however, I did not deal with my feelings. These are the issues I would like to address.
I'm doing well so far. Unfortunately not binging had increased my cigarette intake, so I must correct that and cut down at least. I am still very proud and surprised at my progress. Not binging has made each day longer and the evenings can be very difficult, but each day that I don't binge eat makes me feel a little stronger. Thank you again for your love and support. Keep wel.
Cheers

Thanks for your comment. Youre right that alcohol doesnt work. My friends did an intervention on me yesterday & I gave my bottle to them :) Wow, you are sooo strong for being sober thru your uncomfortable emotions. That can be so hard! Good job and you are making some unbelievable progress!

Hi Selma,
I understand your fear and pain. I just want you to know that each DAY is a precious unopened gift from God, Yahweh, You don't know what will happen in the next momet ahead. You have control as to how you spend you days. Each day is like a blank check or an unwritten letter, each of us either choose to write out the days of our lives or we let others write it for us. Just take each day one moment at a time. decide what you want your day to be like and do it but with help for the Most High God. Please seek the Lord and helping you to stablish your days, to order your days and to let his will be done on the pages of your days, it is only then you will be free of all your fears and uncertainities.
Your Heavenly Father loves you very much. He gave his life through Jesus Christ for you. No one in the Universe can love you or free you but Jesus Christ.
Put your trust in Christ and start reading your Bible.

Much love in Jesus Holy Name
