Thanks for the quote

I really needed that this AM. Here is one from me I do not know who wrote it.

"You are beautiful always, and beatiful in all ways."

Thanks,

"Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are
always watching you.

Robert Fulgham

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

How many overweight people blame their size on genes? My whole family
had weight problems. Everywhere I turn I see obese families. In my
house we were taught that it is a sin to waste food. After all, there
are starving people in the world. As if my cleaning my plate would
really help a starving child. How many times was I rewarded with a
sweet treat instead of a hug and a "Gee you did good - I'm really
proud of you." A scraped knee always felt better if you put a candy on
it. I could eat the treat after the pain was gone, so of course eating
made you feel better fast. My parents didn't actually teach me that
food would give me instant gratification in so many words, but I
learned those lessons from observation. Food helped me get through
some very difficult years. I never realized that there were tools that
could help through them. Unfortunately, I only found OA after my
children were grown up and had watched their coe mother make the same
mistakes that her parents taught her. I am trying to set a better
example now. I no longer have a pantry full of junk food and when I
give my grandchildren treats, it's books, stickers, hairclips, toys,
anything non-edible.

God, I realize that my parents unintentionally taught me bad eating
habits and I forgive them. Please let my children forgive me for
making the same mistakes. Help me to set a better example for the next
generation. Please be with me when I buy groceries and let me bring
only healthy food into my house. Help me to be satisfied with my
abstinent meals so that I won't be tempted to binge and graze with
little eyes upon me. I am so grateful for Your presence in my life,
because I can't do this alone.

ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .

Please remind me that there are tools I can use instead of slipping
into my old eating habits and let me be an example of the miracles
that come with abstinence.

THANK YOU for this !!!! I too was raised that way with rewards being in the form of foods and sadly to say....I did that for MY sons too. All the kids in my neighborhood ALWAYS knew everyday after school there were ALWAYS a cookie jar FULL of homemake yummy cookies for them and for my 3 sons. I met in Dec. with one of my oldest son's friends who is 31. He told his girlfriend that he could always depend on my house for yummy cookies everyday after school. WOW did thi**** home and his remark. Hopefully my grandchildren will think of me differently. Thanks again Dr. Hollywood. Feel free to add these anytime you want. This is good !!! Have a blessed day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
