A Fast

This morning I am fasting because one it's fasting and testimony sunday but second the purpose and reason for my fast is to gain better control of my eatting habits. Stress causes me to eat! I am stressed alot. I have realized that one of

the root problems is that I struggle to cope with stress in a healthy way. I have also learned from others who struggle with this probelm that it takes time to heal and adjust and work on. I also know that for my health I need to not eat my stress away because I am causing more stress by doing so. In our society, we celebrate, mourn,comfort with food. I want to find healthier alternatives. Some things I can do instead of eatting when I am stressed is : Cleaning, Exercise (Walk the Dog, Go to the Gym), Write (poetry or journal or free write), Read ( scriptures (#1), Book), Talk to a friend. I know this won't be an easy battle but I know through my Savior , Jesus Christ I can overcome. He died for us all and has already taken away those things and now all we need to do is release them (weaknesses, struggles) to him.
