Emotional eating problems

[kaylamint]

When I am depressed, scared, stressed out, or un happy food is my savior. I instantly go to the pantry and eat. This problem has never made me fat, the highest Ive been is 126 and I am 5'6. But it makes me feel bloated, it ruins your shape, your mentality all I can think is "fat pig fat pig fat pig". It went away for a while, I was at a normal eating rate, but its crept up back to me. I get this lustful hunger that I need this food, I got to have it. I am very ashamed of this problem, very.
i hate it, but can't control ever. I've tried starving myself, casting out demons of gluttony, ignoring thoughts, chewing gum, everything! It still takes control!!!

Anyone else do this? Any advice?!

Its not very fun is it? You'll be in my prayers! You know you don't have to be attached to a medicine for the rest of your life. God is the ultimate healer of all this, sometimes its a gradual process, but if you don't want to have to be that medication all your life, ask God to heal you emotionally and to guide you through the process. I was on Prozac for depression and as a caution for bipolar (they thought I might be but didn't want to stick that with me since I was so young), I was manic, suicide ran through my mind, I cut myself, burned myself, drugged myself up, I even attempted suicide and was finally put on Prozac, but now I need no drug, or razor to keep me stable just the promises God gives me and the nourishing word, his comfort and encouragement and a little b-complex on the side!

I am a sugar addict too and am detoxing now,I've already stopped craving sweets.. I lost a lot of weight a few years ago and have kept it off for years.
I recently lost my husband of many years. I miss him very much...

I will never go off my meds as BP runs in our family. My sister had it and tried suicide and her son took his life. I was in a coma for a week after my first attempt and woke up in restraints after the for second. This is a chemical disease not a spiritual weakness.
Thank for your advice. Prozac makes BP people manic.
I have been a believer for many years. He has kept me alive for His own reasons.
God Bless you.

I didn't mean to attack you or anything!!! I just know that depression was a spiritual weakness for me. And saturation in God and prayer helped me. I will pray for yalls family though, BP doesn't sound too fun.

Depression and BP are not both medical problems.BP is physical.
BP can be seen on a Brain scan.
God is everything to me. BP has been my journey to depending on Him daily.

Many of us have been prayed for healing but are not healed. I would never suggest this is a spiritual weakness.
Read Job.

My original reply to you was to say I understand how it feels to be obsessed with food.

God can heal you of this too.

I actually struggle with this at times as well. When I am sad, I turn to food, especially ice cream. It is hard to break for sure.

Praying for you.
