Let us start with laying down the scales\u2014get a beginning number, but just use the scales occasionally because the trend that we are measuring is the dependency on God. It is not about a number\u2026it is about getting that internal control and Connection to God so that you are guided and are flying above the scales. When you get off the scales, you will let go of the tricks and gimmicks you have used to keep the scales down. When you let go of the number, you will let go of fasting and laxatives and all the other tricks as well as the depression and bummed-out feeling. Even if you have binged\u2014maybe you have eaten 2,000 calories when you only needed 300 calories\u2014focus on God, repentance and hunger and fullness&#8230;that is all you have to focus on. And by all means, stop the diets, and it will stop the panicky feeling inside and you will stop the binge. One source of panic is coming from man-made diet foods and the feeling that you are not going to get what you want when you want it\u2026Start over, wait for hunger, close your eyes and think inside you, \u201cWhat do I really want and need for good health and energy? What sounds good?\u201d After all, we are ending the pain. Now remember the rules for the Zone of hunger and fullness\u2026put the selected food on a saucer, take smaller bites, sip between bites and pray, pray, pray.
