Day 168

I have been reading daily in Women, Food, and God and journaling about insights. Why, then, is food still an issue? =) As Geneen writes, "overeating dies a bite-by-bite death." !! That is why gentleness and kindness and softness toward myself is so important. She also writes to trust the process. I am more aware of my eating. It will get better. Wine does not help. I am very sensitive to wine, perhaps because I drink it fairly fast. I bought a sweet wine recently (still craving sugar at times!) and once my defenses dropped after a glass, I was nibbling my way through the cupboards. Unfortunately they were not mine. So, deep breath, forgiveness, and caution against alcohol! It impairs my ability to be aware and think.
