Why Are You Eating?
“Eating can be triggered by a multitude of factors other than hunger.

Problems arise when we consistently give in to this hormonal calling and begin to depend on food as our escape from the tension of life.”

If you’re challenged by eating unhealthy food and too much food when you’re stressed you may find this article has some good insight and tips. With that in mind, I’m passing it along.
“You (God) satisfy me more than the richest of foods.” Psalm 63:5
