what are you truly craving?

Tweet

most people who struggle with weight problems have some specific binge item. it's important because it could well be a major source of comfort, a kind of anaesthesia from life, or a vehicle for pleasure, or coping which gets you through the tough times. cravings shouldn't be dropped instantly. you preferably need something which will give you that sense of happiness and well-being with no negative side effects. a most common need that everyone shares is the need for love. your binge item may be a substitute for love, or perhaps merely a habit, and a symptom for a deeper unmet need. try to be a detective in your own life. try to find out what you are truly craving. do you need more rest? do you have financial problems? is there a relationship in your life that provides love and care? are you valuable to others? and are you valued by others? most of all, take a lot of time and TLC to work on these mysteries, and don't forget to ask for God's help often in the process.
