“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest- but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.” - John F. Kennedy

My food addiction was acquired so I could survive and cope in earlier, painful circumstances. Thus began two myths: First, that pain was to be avioded at all costs, and second, that eating would relieve the pain free of charge. These myths were useful then, but they are insanity today.

  As I become willing to accept the truth that is revealed to me , the myths I clumg to so desperatley lose credibility. I no longer need to be anesthetized; I can stand still and feel my feelings. I dont think something is wrong if Im not happy every minute.

For today: The more I accept the reality of what is, the more comfortable and serene my life becomes.
