Eating to Feel Better

Read 1 Samuel 1-3

1 Samuel 1:15 "And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord."

When we’re sad, food makes us feel better. We eat to comfort ourselves, even if what we prefer is not know as one of the “comfort foods.”

Unfortunately, we are most likely to choose high fat, high calorie, high carbohydrate foods. And we tend to keep eating, since food can only go so far to make us feel better.

As we keep eating, hoping to feel better, we are going to feel worse when all those calories, fats, and carbohydrates stick around. We don’t want to undo all the hard work we did, getting those pounds off and will want to find something else that will make us feel better without regret.
