THis chapter was so interesting. It brought up a lot of thoughts about my own relationship with Heavenly Father and my need to use food compulsively....a lacking in the first almost always coincided with an increase in the second.

I have alsways been an extremist....My house is wither spotless or a disaster...I am am always on a major upswing in weight or losing weight fast due to binge exercise or binge eating etc.....I could go on an on...thanks goodness I am LDS or I would for sure be a drug addict. Discipline is either very present in my life or non-existent. Moderation in all things is probably one of the hardest commandments for me to master. I have never been able to do it . I have tremendous weakness in this aspect of my life. I am either the best mother or the worst....I am wither exercising 2-3 hours a day or not at all and stuffing my face.....UUUUGGGHHHHHH......It has felt so ggod to just be moderate these last couple days. Just to wal a ways and not think about how many calories I've burned how many Iv'e eaten....I believe now from this program that calories ahve become part of my obsession...how many burned how many eaten etc. I'm so glad we do not count calories on this program! Its about balance overall....BAlance....Balance Balance.....my new mantra!
