For years I struggled with over-eating, food addiction, binge-eating or whatever label you want to put on it! I lived to eat. I did not eat to live! This goes back to childhood. I remember “sneaking” food into my bedroom as young as age 4 or 5! Why? I don’t know? If I am 100% authentic, I still don’t know to this day. Everyone wants to know why? Stress? Emotions? Victim of abuse? I don’t know and honestly, I don’t care anymore! I could blame my parents and the “obesity gene.” I could blame being an over-looked middle child. I could blame being made fun of at an early age already for being “chubby.” OR, I could take self-responsibility.
I vulnerably share my story of health transformation in hopes that you will be encouraged and inspired to take your own health back! And/or, if you know someone who struggles with food addiction; would you please consider sharing my story too? I know what it feels like to be hopeless and depressed; my story may help them? I invite you to read and share! Thank you kindly, Dr. Carol

You and I are thinking beings. Our minds create signals that cause our genes to express proteins that group together to form little “trees,” as Dr. Caroline Leaf refers to them. You are the designer of your “trees.” Your choices determine what your “trees” look like.

If our thoughts are based on God’s truth, and our emotions and actions flow from our thoughts, then our result would be positive behaviors and we would be content, peaceful and joy-filled, right? So if our action/behavior isn't in alignment with what we want, we must first go back to our emotions which then take us back to our thoughts since EVERYthing begins with a thought.
