Food for many has become a battleground; it exists in a way beyond nourishment into fulfillment. Sometimes we actively eat to satiate something other than hunger. We eat to feel better, to forget, to be in control, to relax and let go. The list goes on. It is when we for anything other than hunger that we have created this struggle, this battle with food. It is a habit formed to help ourselves to deal with something bigger, more “powerful”, than we can cope with. So we resort to food as a way to put it off. Food is not the problem; it is not bigger than what it is. It is what we have allocated to eating; it is the power we have given it in our lives.

Food exists simply to nourish our bodies; it is when we replace that by emotions and thoughts that we lose the simplicity of it. Have you ever found yourself eating simply to eat?
