"I hereby revoke the privilege pass given to self to do anything I want to do"...this was a powerful message received yesterday from a spiritual mentor. It was a message of awareness of the fact that there were areas in my life where I could change for my betterment. Though the message of change I received yesterday was a blanket one...applicable to all areas of life, now, I will apply it to food choices.
For years, I gave myself permission to eat whatever and whenever I wanted. I abused food (abuse is use of anything outside of it's intented purpose) when I ate for any reason other than need for nourishment. I still must be alert as to how I am using food...today, I have accountability with what I place in my mouth. I have a food sponsor who is willing to read over my emailed food choices (he knows what decisions I have made as far was what ingredients are toxic to my body). I eat six small meals/snacks a day (goal is no more than 250-300 calories at each meal/snack). I alternate between sweet snacks and non-sweet snacks (helps to keep balanced with amount of sweet foods...even when they are healthy for my body).
Today, my meal plan is vegan (free of meats or dairy products); my meals are free from foods that cause crave in my body: white sugar, flour, white rice, breads (I have replacement foods like agave/100 % vegetable glycerin, sprouted/seed crackers/breads instead of traditional ones). This is what has worked for me. It has taken almost eight years for me to get to this place of yielding to God's will for my food plan. Healing from food addition is a process...a series of heathy actions due to new awareness over a course of time.
Are you willing to change today? Name one action you are willing to take for today? At the end of this day, I encourage you to journal about this change you took today: what emotions came up...how did you feel; did you notice anything different? Then, share with a compassionate person who will be loving and kind as you speak from your heart...
