“Gluttony is not a secret vice.”
~ Orson Welles ~
Food addiction—eating, forever dieting, starving—is the hidden disease that is becoming more obvious. But am I talking about it? Some recovering alcoholics minimize it and get lost in ice cream and doughnuts. For many, the pain around food is as real as alcohol or any other drug. The family and relationships suffer.
Today I am willing to talk about it. Spirituality affects all my life, and this involves my eating habits and body weight. God does not make junk, so I choose not to eat junk. Today I choose to talk about the buried emotions I am stuffing behind the food. That is a step toward living.
When I bless my food at mealtime, may I also bless my abstinence.
