Gimme gimme gimme!!!!

So I experienced kind of a weird phenomenon this week--the urge to binge.  I've binged many times before, but typically I had a specific food that was the target of my binge.  This time, it didn't really matter to me what food it was.  For instance--Tuesday I was cleaning up my kitchen area at work after lunch service and nearly shoved a bunch of leftover chicken tenders in my mouth.  Wednesday I nearly ate a whole box of granola bars after work.  Then last night I was getting Emily a bowl of ice cream and I nearly ate the remainder of the carton.  It scares me how close I have been, and how easily I could fall back into the patterns that used to be, for me, an every day occurrence.  But thankfully, God gave me the strength to quickly throw the chicken tenders in the garbage....stay away from the pantry...put the ice cream back in the freezer...make the decision to stay away once more.  I pray He will continue to help me make the right decision in those hard places.
