Women Food and God

One of my new years resolutions was to fall in love with reading again. As a child I wouldn't leave the house without 4 or 5 books and the library was my absolute favorite place in the world! Unfortunately college just sucked all the fun and excitement out of reading from me:/

Regardless of that,  readers are leaders (so cliche) and that's what I want to be! So, a few weeks ago, I joined the library and decided  that each month I would complete one book. This month's book I actually found on accident. I was at this random thrift store on the outskirts of town and I happened across this book called "Women, Food and God" in the bargain bin.

Here's an excerpt from the chapter I read tonight,  "To discover  what you really  believe, pay attention  to the way you act- and to what you do when things don't go the way you think it should. Pay attention  to what you value. Pay attention to how and on what you spend your time. Your money. And pay attention  to the way you eat."

This rings especially  true for me! I remember  in the past just eating on impulse just because I passed a particular  restaurant  or because  I was sad or frustrated. I have since began to cope with those emotions.  When I am angry or depressed I am learning  to attack the root of the issue head on, instead  of running  to food for comfort. It is a process as most things in life are, but I am getting there little by little!

I am excited  for chapter  2!
