Thought for the Day

From the book: Food for Thought
Take an Idea Break
When we are bored or tired, it has been our habit to reach for something to eat or drink. Food has been our number one stimulant.
There are many sources besides the refrigerator to which we may turn for refreshment. We may stimulate our minds instead of our appetites by reading something worthwhile and thought provoking. We may listen to music or simply take a good look out the nearest window. In addition to intellectual stimulation, there are many sensory feasts besides food, which we may have been neglecting.
During our recovery from compulsive overeating, we grow less obsessed with food and more interested in the world around us. When our brains are no longer dulled with refined sugar, we take pleasure in new thoughts and ideas. The next time we find ourselves thinking about something to eat, let's try consuming something pleasant with our eyes, ears, or minds instead of our mouths.
May I enjoy fully all of the senses and abilities You have given me.

Lately, I seem to have been missing good sense. As I shared in my check in today, my God and I have to have a wee talk. Not just about food, but money too.
