Prayers Needed Please

[sugarssweetpea]

I feel silly even asking for prayers on this issue again, but I do not know what else to do. I am struggling once again with the food addiction. I was doing good for awhile, getting the exercise down, eating sugar & other junk only once a week, then I don't know what happened, but here I am again eating it almost every day. I cannot seem to get a grip on it. I have not exercised in 4 days. I chose to sit on the computer & eat this morning instead of exercise. I cannot take this anymore. I hate what I have become. I hate that I cannot surrender this to God. I truely do not know what to do anymore. I am sitting here crying right now. This is truely destroying me. I know that this sounds silly, stupid whatever. I need to grow up & get control of myself. Develop the fruit of self control. I know there are a lot of other prayer requests on this forum & others that are way more important & serious than mine, but if you have a chance, please lift me up in prayer to be able to break this one last addiction & have full freedom in Jesus Christ & that I may bring glory & honor to God with my choices.

I am sorry to keep bothering you with this.

Thank you.

I just prayed for you. I believe there is nothing stupid about a struggle, no matter what it is... I pray that you will find beauty and peace within yourself. I love you with the love of Christ.

It's not silly at all. Alot of times remorse and bad feelings are what propel me to action and find a renewed desire to seek recovery... any cost. (btw...you are worth that cost)

What I try to do is find somebody who has found what I need, and learn from them.
The 12 step program is about drunks helping drunks, codependants helping codepentants etc etc. I have to be willing to go to somebody who has been there, done what was needed and worked through it.

In other words...I will not seek help from somebody who is not successful in that area.
There are several well known diet plans that have been proven to be successful such as Weight Watchers. Over Eaters Anonymous helps people get to the root causes of this problem- which are jmho the same for just about any addiction.

You deserve some steady support from others who understand, have been there before and can show the way out of the misery. When what I am doing is not working, it's time to make a change or I will continue to get the same results.

Jesus puts out care for even the little sparrow. How much more important are you then a tiny bird? All of our worries and cares are important and serious when we talk with the Lord. He loves us that much that every part of our life is important.

Step one, two, three....
I have a problem
I can't control the problem on my own
Help me Jesus!

and with our asking... He fills us with His strength and we find that we can do All things through Christ that gives us strength.
Ask, Believe, and reap the reward.

sugar,

I understand your worries, as do many people. I was just watching a show, Paula White today, and the show was all on healthy eating,. I know I need help, and I also need help feeding my family the proper foods. My children have weight issues as well.

cmc had really great advice. Have you ever checked into over eaters annon? My mom used to attend that when I was young. I know they helped her. This was a great group, because it is a support group. There is also a group called TOPS. Support groups are always good. I believe we eat for reasons other than hunger often, anger, fear, happiness, all these reasons, or any reason at all, other than hunger. That's why support groups are good.

I will pray blessings,
Becky
