Hello, all.
I have been so far away from God these past few weeks, and I've been using food as a way of numbing the feelings I am having. Accordingly, I"ve decided to fast for a little over a week in order to draw closer to Him and avoid the food that is actually distracting me. I've recently left an abusive situation at home, and I"ve been having a difficult time adapting to my new-found independence. I've been using food as a comfort, and not God. This week, I'm going to focus on my relationship with Him and other people, and see if we can't make some progress. Any and all support is welcome. By the way, it's not a complete fast in that I am going to drink one can of nutritional supplement every day so my hair doesn't fall out, I don't get anemic, my body doesn't eat away at my muscle, etc. etc. I think it's ok. Hey, I hate those things any way!
