Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

Maybe you are “walking on eggshells” around your boss,
… maybe you feel generally insecure about your appearance,
… maybe you are afraid to “end up alone” (thus craving “love” or companionship),
… maybe you feel life to be meaningless (thus seeking superficial “pleasure” & “fun”),
… maybe you feel betrayed by another (or are even angry at life for being “unfair”),
… or maybe you are simply feeling “down”.
Regardless of the negative emotion you might be experiencing, eating food for comfort is
a common, readily available, short-term “fix”. Of course, the more we gloss over our
emotional-spiritual conflicts, the stronger they get … And the more we cover them up
with our eating habits, the stronger our addiction to food becomes.
FACT #04 – THE CONSEQUENCES OF FOOD ADDICTION ARE SEVERE
*OBESITY OF THE BODY — Over-eating causes the body to become over-weight,
which has been clearly linked to all sorts of health traumas, including heart attack, heart
disease, cancer and stroke. And yet even though physical obesity is a serious detriment
to your life, it is NOT the greatest detriment to your health. No, the greatest danger you
face with over-eating is …
*OBESITY OF THE SOUL – Over-eating, whether you become physically over-weight
or not, causes “fat” to build up around your Spirit. Over-eating is a self-centered
response to pain – a fear-based escape from the life we have been given – a hiding out
from the Love that we can give to others if we choose to reach out instead of run away.
Every unnecessary mouthful smears another small dollop of “sludge” over the Kindness
in our Hearts, making it that much more difficult to Care for others in the future …
… and THIS is the truest and most deadly form of Heart Dis-ease.
“Obesity: a
condition which
proves that the
Lord does not help
those who help
themselves — and
help themselves —
and help
themselves.” ~
