I was just reading the public comments to my article' ''Heal My Mind, Lord (Prayer)'' article and saw a recent comment to which you may relate.
The reader wrote, ''I've been trying to stop overeating but in my mind I think about food all the time.''
I could relate. When I suffered from emotional/binge eating many years ago, I once counted the number of times I thought about food in a single day.
I counted 77 times!
So clearly, thoughts of food had hijacked my brain. Those food thoughts were occupying the place in my mind where God should have been.

Now most people think getting free of this issue is just about willpower.
But they are wrong.
Rather, it is an issue about brain chemistry, emotional management, and Spiritual power because some foods affect our brain as profoundly as drugs!
I posted a link to one of our most popular articles about overcoming overeating because I believe it can help her.

Love to hear your thoughts in the article comments!

Be blessed in health, healing, and wholeness,
