Thought for the Day
Tuesday, FEB. 13 From the book: Food for Thought Being Honest During our compulsive overeating careers, many of us have been dishonest with others about what we were eating. Some of us have been closet eaters and some of us have stolen food. Most of us have eaten more when we were alone than when we were with other people. We have almost surely been dishonest with ourselves, too. How many times have we promised ourselves to stick to a diet, only to find ourselves cheating a short time later? We tell ourselves that one small bite won't make any difference, when deep down we know that we intend to eat many more bites than one. When we take inventory, and as our insights are sharpened, we may discover other areas besides eating where we have not been honest with ourselves. The OA program gives us a chance to practice rigorous honesty, especially with ourselves. The light from our Higher Power will gradually clear away our confusion and darkness. May I not be afraid to know the truth.
