I have a problem and need some help on this. It seems I can't get enough food in my mouth it has possessed me to the point that I have no control over and has consumed me. I realize what I'm doing and just can't stop. I know very little of the bible but I do know this I'm eating because of emotional problems I'm receiving help for this yet, does not seem to be helping. I'm reading from Neil T. Anderson book Bondage Breaker and it does shed some light as to why I'm doing this also, I'm following a weight watchers program and still I just can't seem to have enough food and always seem to feel deprived from food. Please help I'm slowly killing myself legally but because I'm diabetec It's Ice cream cones chocolate sweet things I'm very concerned about this and feel this is sinful and agains't God's wishes. So if anyone can help with advice I would appreciate this very much thanks and God Bless. | ||||||

Ronaldculleton: Welcome to the Forum: You are not alone my friend! I have diabetes my self. I can understand exactly what you have expressed. Not knowing your age, weight or living situation, or marital status makes answering you sorta of a shot in the dark. So I can say what your are experiencing is not uncommon. 1 John 4:4 is a very encouraging verse. Write it in huge letters and put it on your refigerator! Start there. Go to a clinic that deals with Diabetes, and can get you on medication, and a diet training, that is realistic, and allows rewards. This is a very serious situation and I find it very hard to stay away from sweets as well. I have had a long battle with this myself. All the complications that a diabetec face I have seen in others. There have been times that my family and me have faced some difficult times. My children who are thin, all have diatebetec symptoms. They have to control theirs with diet. I take two kinds of medication. I test my blood sugar once a day. I have even dropped to 40 which is very dangerious, often deadly. This is something you need help to learn to manage. Emotions can be a major problem with overeating, which can led to diabetes. Some people have type one and have no control, and type two you have more hope of regulating with a carefull diet. With Christ you can become an overcomer. You really can Here are some things that have helped me. I drink only skim milk, and I now like it! Don't anyone laugh it can be done. I drink only diet soda. I use no sugar, I use Walmarts Value sugar substatute egual. I eat small meals. As directed by the dietition. No one can tell you what works for them will work for you. But common to us all is the fact that we need to be accountable to someone else. We make some foods off limits and my wife only brings home special foods like icecream for something like birthdays. Change takes place one minuet at a time. Then one hour at a time and one meal at a time. Someone once said inch by inch it's a sinch! Yard by yard life is too hard! I will remember you in prayer. Get to a clinic as soon as you can! Start some changes when you read my note. Remember you do have Jesus who is greater than all that can come against you! I will keep you in my prayers. justme |

Hi thanks for the answer. Now here is a follow up to what I'm trying to explain first my weight is 200lbs I'm five foot five have been diabetec for six years which I'm type 2. What I'm trying to get at is I'm following a weight watchers program that is working. I have gone to a course for diabeties and have regulated my diabities. The concern I have is not with sweets but but the uncontrolable urge to eat and I'm unable to stop this. I have been seeing a counseller for emotional problems for the past couple of years also I'm taking medication to help me with my diabities so I seem to have everything covered except for the emotional eating. I realize and understand that I'm destroying myself by overeating and more bluntly killing myself and I just can't seem to stop I desperately need help | ||||||

Ronald: You are doing a lot of the right things, and thats good. Are you ina a good church with activities? That would be a real help if you are not.I hope you are involved with a Christian counselor who is trained in the area you need help. There is the quiestion Jesus asked several before He healed them. DO YOU WANT TO BE HEALED? This may be a question to ask your self. Eventually it comes down to having will power on your own. That may take help to let yourself develope it. Perhaps finding something that will fill the emotional need you have, that at present you use food to comfort that emotional need. I would deffinately talk this over with your pastor or counselor. I am rembering you in my prayers. justme |
