Starting Point

This is my first blog and I just want to start out by saying: I’m not a writer. Please forgive any grammatical errors you will see. Now that we’ve got that out of the way; I feel like God has lead me to this place in my life and I need to share it with you. Let me start off by saying I’m a foodie. I love to eat good food and it shows. I’m also an emotional eater. If I’m really stressed out I go to food for comfort. This is not good since I’m about 60 pounds overweight and starting to feel the effects of it through my health. I’ve tried just about every diet out there. Some are good and I’ve lost weight on like Weight Watchers and some not so good like the “No Carb Diet” that is impossible to do. These didn’t work because I didn’t address the issue of why I gained weight. I eat for comfort! My theory is food doesn’t reject you; it doesn’t judge you and is always available even when you have road rage...LOL. Well, we all know that emotional eating is hard to deal with. I think this is the reason I’ve ballooned up to a whopping...dare I say it...172 pounds. This will be my journey on how God will help me to overcome this issue. I will be searching scripture and books written on how to deal with emotional eating. I’m not sure how long it will take me but with God’s help I’ll be able to accomplish this goal. I’ll try to post a couple of times a week but no less than once a week.


God Bless...
