Hey PM,
This is great info. I actually came to this site tonight because I need some encouragement--in general.  I have been binge eating my particular trigger food and I feel so far from God.  I feel like such a failure.  I just found out this week that I suffer from food addiction.  I need to let go of my trigger food, b/c I use it as an emotional crutch.  Since my teenage years, I have used food to mask certain problems I experienced in my home.  I continue to use food in an abusive way. 

I do like what Dr.Ian said about junk food.  I love Dr.Ian and Celeb Fit Club.  I actually tried his Fat Smash Diet.  I have tried most diets on the market and I am still overweight.  Just last week I almost bought and started "21 pounds in 21 days"  It is a fasting and liquid health plan.  I do not believe it would have been healthful for me with a food addiction, b/c usually when I fast for weight loss, then once it is over I binge eat for weeks and months and gain more weight than I lost. 

At my church we are doing a weekly bible study titled "The Joy of Eating Right".  It teaches spiritual and nutritional principles to weight loss. I like it, but I do not like teaching it, b/c I am not the best example.  I feel like such a hypocrite.  I am thinking of telling them any day, that I can not lead this group.  I am just not right for this. 

I am sorry for saying so much.  This is just how I feel.  I needed somewhere to bring this.  It is hard to talk to people at church honestly about what I am going through.  No one understands the bondage I feel.  I do not have friends outside of church to help me deal with this.  I am considering a mental health counselor. 

Pray for me.  I need it right now. 

I will try to speak just like you said.
