Breakthrough!

Yesterday was a pretty rough day for me. I was extremely down on myself, and it seemed as though I had lost all control. Kyle and I of course ended the day with an argument and cry fest on my part. However, I feel it was productive since I got some things off my chest, and things that Kyle and I have needed to discuss but have been avoiding were resolved.

For some strange reason yesterday I hardly thought about food at all. In fact, I hardly ate near what I have been. I am not sure if it is anxiety or divine intervention. I would like to believe the latter. Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I believe that God alone will give me the tools I need to overcome this addiction.

Today I feel tired, but hopeful! I have not been thinking about food obsessively today, THANKS BE TO GOD! I have not binged today, still trying to find that fine line between eating and binging. For example is continuing to eat a normal size portion even after I feel full binging? I guess it is all relative to the way it makes me feel. Whether or not I feel it is wrong in my heart.

Excited today, feeling hopeful and grateful!
