God is so GOOD

He has financially supplied for my Optifast Plan again. He is so good to me.

My energy level was more manageable today. I am so glad because I was a little concerned I was going to have to get my medications adjusted. It is such a fine balance and it took us a year to hit this one. My other concern was that this is only the first week. If food is playing that much of a role in my anxiety and depression, I would not want to adjust meds every week. I want to wait until the end.

So many nutrients have an extreme condition on our moods. When you are over-eating, more often than not, you are eating to try and satisfy a feeling you don't know how to deal with. My counselor says, "How many trips to the refrigerator will fix the hurt you feel". "How many slices of pizza do you have to eat to fix your finances?"

You are essentially trying to fix an uncomfortable or painful situation or feeling with the wrong tool. Food is not it. Usually the tool is learning better communication skills, but can also be learning to budget, learning to feel your feelings and respond with the correct response. I am learning and relearning so much.
