\"\"<\/a>Dear Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> ~\u00a0<\/em> I really don\u2019t quite understand it, but food \u2013 in particular \u2013 sweets with a heavy emphasis on chocolate \u2013 has a crazy kind of power of me.\u00a0 It knows my name and frequently calls out to me.<\/p>\n

How do I stop food from calling out to me?\u00a0 How do I take its power away from it?\u00a0 ~ Fat and I Swear I Can\u2019t Help It.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dearest Friend ~<\/em> I hear you; loud and clear.\u00a0 Please know this.\u00a0 You are not the first to whom \u201cfood\u201d has called out to.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, have no fear.\u00a0 Our Lady of Weight Loss to the rescue with two possible ways to stop this crazy phenomenon from happening!<\/p>\n

The first way is to simply change your name.\u00a0 If your name is Beth, try changing your name to Sally Ann or something equally as different sounding as your original name.\u00a0\u00a0 The tricky part of this is that you have to remember that you\u2019ve changed your name, which can be difficult when \u2018Food,\u2019 in your case \u2013 ‘Chocolate’ \u2013 is seductively calling out to you.<\/p>\n

The second way is to come to the realization that …
\n… Food is Just Food<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuh? What?\u201d\u00a0 you say!<\/p>\n

True enough: Food is Just Food.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong>Food does not come fully equipped with vocal chords.<\/p>\n

Food does not know your name.<\/p>\n

Food cannot call out to you.<\/p>\n

Food has no power.<\/p>\n

Food it not your best friend.<\/p>\n

Food is not your lover.<\/p>\n

Food is not your enemy.<\/p>\n

Food cannot make you feel better.<\/p>\n

Food cannot lay a guilt trip on you, nor can it fill you with shame.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Food is just food.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next time you hear yourself saying, \u201cI have no power; food calls my name,\u201d remember that food is just food and that it is YOU who is doing the name calling and denying your own power!<\/p>\n

Hope that helps! ~ Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/em><\/p>\n
