I go back and forth daily on this food thing. Sometimes I can spend an hour or more on the computer, reading posts, giving and getting encouragement, thinking about different recipes. Other times, I think "why this obsession? Why not just eat your normal, boring meals and go on with life. Why focus on this food/way of eating so much?" I don't know which mindset is best. Theoretically, food should not be such a focus in my life. Other things matter a lot more! But practically speaking, food has ALWAYS had a big place in my life. I guess I just need to continue to work my spiritual program, which is focusing more on God and what he wants me to do. I pray eventually that my focus will be THERE and not on food or myself. I've got a long way to go, but I'm headed in the right direction.

Hey Lauri I totally agree! I have been dieting off and on since I was preteen, so that's somewhere around 47 yrs give or take, and because of that my life has revolved totally around food! If I'm dieting my day revolves around calories and meal plans, when I'm not dieting, all I can think about are the bad choices I am making! Even when I lost that 90 lbs and was considered a normal size person my life was all about what I should eat to stay that way! In my life there have been several times I have tried to give this issue to God, but I'm not very good at it cause I always take it back and go back to trying to figure this out on my own and my usual failure is right around the corner! I'll be honest I have been doing this so long I don't think my mind can allow me to not focus on food! Wish I had the secret answer, I know God does, I wish he would share! :)

My secret thought is that God allows me to continue to struggle with my weight so that I never feel like I can do it all on my own... that I end Him. I continue to turn to Him, to pray for strength. I find that I was trying to control EVERYTHING in my life, not just food. And I am working on giving up that control and trying to accept what God allows to come into my life. I pray that as I concentrate more on Him, I will be less obsessed about food and my weight.
