As long as we are alive, we will experience times of joy and times of sadness. Trying to hang on to the periods of elation and avoid the inevitable depression which each of us feels from time to time causes us to seek artificial stimulation. Using food to try to stay on cloud nine did not work, and neither does anything else.
By turning over our lives, we become willing to let go and move through the periods of joy and sadness as we come to them. Trying to hang on arrests our progress. Nothing is certain in this life except change, and when we stop overeating we are better able to deal with the variations in our feelings and circumstances.
- Food For Thought
This applies to all things in our life, be it food we use or people, places and other things.
By trying to hang on, we are trying to empower what is not ours to suppress. We are powerless over people, places and things. It is only by turning things over to our Higher Power, are we empowered to do for ourselves.
Life is made up of changes. We can't change them, all we can do is change ourselves. What I needed to change the post was my acceptance of that change. Change was inevitable. I was me and my attitude that needed to change.
