Which one are you

If I'm stressed I don't have much of an appetite

Well I used to eat more when I was stressed but I think I've gotten over that now. Now I try to love myself more so that instead of harming myself when I'm stressed, I read things that encourage me and bless me. It works. I read wonderful devotionals and positive self-help books and listen to Carl Jung's self-help inspirational videos. The Lord has been helping me a lot and I'm very grateful for that. I try to keep my mind stayed on him and I have found that verse in the Bible is true where it says he who keeps his mind stayed on the, shall have perfect peace. It's really true.

I will share with you that I have been battling and eating disorder since 1979 and sometimes I fall off the wagon. But I picked myself right back up and ask the Lord to help me and he does but it's not easy by any means. I'm reading up on addiction and how to overcome it and I'm making great progress because of the Lord and I'm very grateful for that. The eating disorder came from being so traumatized from abuse from my late husband and my terribly narcissistic daughter. I feel the only comfort I have is my relationship with my Lord and one very precious dear friend along with my daughter, my other daughter. The Lord is helping me tremendously and when I learn even more I will be able to share what I've learned to help others. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that we have to find a different and healthier way to cope. God is definitely helping with that and bringing me peace that passes all understanding when I keep my heart and mind on him and he has led me to these self-help videos. He does use doctors in different people to help us, as well.

I know both of those things are hard, and I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. If I had to choose, I would much rather not be able to eat when I'm stressed. I don't mean that to sound insensitive because I really feel for you and I feel I can even detect pain in your words, but I'm sorry you're going through this. For myself, I just feel it would be way easier on me to not have to deal with the consequences of overeating and being fat. That is very hard to deal with. But I know God will see me through this. Maybe we could pray for each other? If you don't mind? I would love to pray for you. We do these habits because something or someone has caused them. It's not our fault. Yet there is hope in Christ. He never abandons us and always loves us no matter what we look like or how many mistakes we make. He accepts us for who we are, without judgment. His love is unconditional. Not like my daughter who abandoned me completely. God knows how to heal our hearts and I know he will.

All emotions make me want to eat lol

Luckily I can differentiate between stress related hunger or a genuine hunger

I ate like 5000 calories in snacks on last Sunday night. So I guess I'm a stress eater.
