It does come to light, but not all at once.
The posts that have been on here over the past few days have made me think about my food addiction. In fact, made me think enough to do something about it. Im battling with something in the fridge, its there to be eaten, so it needs eating now.
Just right now, Im not eating it, Ive got a glass of water and Im on here, In a mo, Im going to walk past the fridge, not open it, and go in to the front room. Ive just filled my water again, just to make sure.
Why should I eat it now?? Im not sure, it will taste the same at lunch time, Im not hungry now, but I still want to eat it, it will taste nice, but then, maybe not as nice as it will when Im hungry.
So, my addiction is the desire to eat, I know that that piece of food is there, but Im not going to have it, not yet anyway, Ill have it at lunchtime, or when Im hungry, not just shove it in now, and then panic at lunchtime, because its lunchtime and I must eat as because thats what we have to do at lunchtime.
What a waffle Vic, but maybe it needed saying, so, what have a gleaned from these posts.
My desire turns in to a need, so therefore I eat, but just because I need it doesnt mean that I really need it, its my brain telling me it would be nice to eat. I love eating. I love lots of things but I dont have to do those things 24 hours a day!!!!
Ok, so when I am about to open the fridge, the cupboard, I need to stop and ask some questions,
Am I hungry??
Am I eating for the sake of putting something in my mouth??
Is this something I need right now??
Right, lets stick these notices on the fridge and see where I go from here??
Im not going to have the item in the fridge.
Thanks
