Appetite
Appetite grows as it is fed. The more we eat, the more we want to eat. If we let any physical appetite take over - whether it is for food, sex, security, or whatever - we become its slave.
If we do not nurture our relationship with our Higher Power so that God is the ultimate authority for everything that we do and the object of our greatest desire, then we will be enslaved by one or more of our physical appetites. When God is perceived to be the greatest good and the source of all joy and satisfaction, then physical appetites fall into their proper place.
First we seek spiritual growth. Our primary desire is to do God's will for us, as He enables us to do it. When He is our Master, His love feeds our spiritual appetite and we begin to know the inner peace and satisfaction, which the world cannot give.
May my desire be always for You.

If my spiritual appetite is under-nourished, my physical appetite takes over and leads me to binge. In that case, there is not enough food on earth to satisfy me, no matter how many calories I take in.
When I feel overly 'hungry', something else is bothering me. It's during that time when I need to get on my knees and ask for help from my Higher Power. Assistance to help me figure out what is really going on.......to pinpoint where the hole in my soul is really coming from.

I do not want to live my live enslaved to anything, especially not food. It never provides me the comfort I seek. Never.
For today, I ask my Higher Power's help in determining why food has suddenly become so important to me. For today, I seek answers from Him instead of answers from addictive substances.
For today, I devote my life and my food plan to God.
