More DescriptionRight now you use food to numb your emotional distress, and you fear that without using food and excess body fat as psychological defenses your life will be nothing but empty pain.
Therefore, to overcome the habit of constantly reaching for something to deaden your emotional pain, endeavor to teach yourself to act in new ways through love. Recognize the urge to use food as a way to numb painful emotions, and then return food to its proper place in your life: not as a psychological defense but as a holy gift of nutrition. In this way, your food will participate with you in a divine mystery of love, rather than be reduced to a mere object of consumption.
If you follow the guidance within this booklet, you will be able to say, "Thank You, Lord, for the grace to not use food to fill my craving for love. In You, Lord, I am filled with all the fullness of divinity; there is no greater love than this."
