Today I take the first step out of the wilderness of gluttony. My daddy died when I was seven. I have compensated for lack of love and self acceptance for the past 40 years since my Dad's death. I have been physically and emotionally abused by others. Lost, alone and sad I find comfort in food. Starting at the age of 7 with good southern foods like chicken and dumplings and fried chicken. Nothing cures a broken heart quite like food. I have come to realize that this isn't anything but gluttony and would rather give my heart over to a deeper relationship with God.
I've always prayed for and tried to fix things for other people and know in my heart that God will answer these prayers BUT I feel that God won't ever answer my prayer to be delivered from the love of food. _________________ Take the first step in faith.
