While most people of the world struggle for enough to eat, those of us
\nwith weight problems have too much, and eat too much. What a paradox! <\/p>\n

Obesity isn’t just a disease of poverty, either–many people with little or no money are still overweight. What then, is the cause of the problem? It’s
\nabout feeding yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s
\nnot enough to feed your body–you need to feed your soul and Spirit,
\ntoo. <\/p>\n

Trouble is, many of us have confused a full stomach with a full
\nlife. Instead of building lives that satisfy, we’ve tried to satisfy
\nourselves with food.
\nIf we’re satisfied with ourselves, there’s no need to try and fill our
\nemptiness and salve our discomforts with overeating. If we’re at peace,
\nthere’s no need to self-medicate with instant gratification. If we’re
\nwhole human beings, connected with our Creator, doing His work with
\npurpose and passion–there’s no need to look to food for fulfillment.
