America…Needs Help.

This past week, I have been on a mostly all liquid diet, as prep for my surgery next Thursday. It has made me realize how much this nation revolves around food. Every other commercial on TV is food/restaurant related. Every add in a magazine is food related. Americans revolve around food. People are living to eat, not eating to live.

I realize that I may have been one of these people…but I am ready for this change. I am going to start eating to live. My hope for this surgery is that it helps me to not go to food when I am overwhelmed with emotions, but to instead talk it out, whether that be with my mom or a friend or God. But I am not going to go to food to cover up my emotions. Obviously, it hasn’t helped, but has drug me deeper into my pit of emotions.

Thank you God for providing a surgery date and carrying me through this. Remind me everyday to trust you and lean on you in everything through these next few months.

More Later,

Kait
