This is the season of feasts, that should be followed by fasts, but who does that.
One big question is how do you deal with compulsive over feeders, food pushers, yetties?
Here are a group of possibilities, and thoughts on the subject.
Not thanks. I know it will taste wonderful, but it will mess with my blood sugar.
No thanks. It gets in my mouth.
No thanks, It is poisonous to me. Wonderful tasting poison, but poison.
No thanks, Today I choose not to consume fructose, sugar, grain or omega 6 oils.
Eating with a group of practicing food addicts or compulsive overeaters is dangerous for our welfare. Some days the best thing is just to not go around the practicing overeaters (perhaps family of origin). Remember, many people are into competitive cooking.
We addicts want more, we do not need more. We need to provide only our needs, not our wants. Addiction is biochemical while overeating is behavioral addiction. Either way, once we get separate from our substance or behavior of choice, we should not go back there.
We do not owe duty to our abusers. Anyone who pushes food onto an obese person is an abuser, whether they think so or not. Abuse is doing something that is not good for someone else, regardless of whether they want it or not. Religion or tradition does not make it right. It is still abuse. So providing to much bad food, carbohydrate high food to a child is abuse.
Any comments, ideas?
