Dear ,

 

Back when I was 240 pounds, one of my favorite binge foods was Pepperidge Farm coconut cake. I would often purchase one, totally intending to eat one slice and be content with that until the next day.

 

But did that ever happen? No.

 

Instead, I would eat a piece but then the cake would start calling me: "Kim, come eat me...come eat me." To shut up the voice, I would go eat another piece.

 

Was the voice satisfied then? No. It compelled me to eat another.

 

And I ate another. Then another. Finally out of complete abandonment I would get the remaining cake and a knife and a fork. I'd end up eating it all.

 

And just like the night follows the day, the condemnation would start. The same voice that tempted me in the first place would say, "You knew better than that. Why did you buy that cake? You knew that was going to happen. It's only happened 10 million times before!"

 

Physically, I'd feel bloated, sick, and nauseous. Full of regret.

 

But you know what? I don't do that anymore. And here is why...

 

 

Be blessed in health, healing, and wholeness,
