Needs vs. Wants, Sleep vs. Food

My name is Charlie. I'm a compulsive overeater.

::Hi, Charlie!::

What I need is sleep. What I want is food. I think this photo sums it up:



















The good news is that I'm still abstinent. Tomorrow will be ten months of freedom from compulsive overeating. Thank You, God.

Now, good night.

Hi Charlie:
I just stumbled across your blog.
I am also a long time OA, but not HOW. I work on all three aspects of the program now, the physical through increasing my food, physiology and bio-chemistry knowledge, emotional, and spiritual through examination of philosophy surrounding diet and exercise. This has greatly aid me in staying away from my hedonic foods, sugar, grains, nuts, cheese, and a few others.
Keep up the fine effort.

Hi Charlie, Long time no hear. Pleased to read that you are still abstinent. I relate to wanting food when I need sleep. That is one of my major food traps. I need sleep now (but don't want food...). It's 4.21am here, and I can't sleep, have an achy neck. All the best!
