What Do You Eat When You Are Sick?


     I have been sick lately and it has made me wonder what exactly I should be eating while being sick. What do you eat when you are sick? I have been craving the foods that are good for me but I have also been craving the kinds of foods that I have known as comfort foods up until now. I really want a good salad but then I want something with sugar and maybe chocolate in it. Salad = healing: Sugar = sick. You would think that that would be enough to keep me on the straight and narrow but it is not.

    
     Why do I always go back to the sugar and chocolate? I know that I feel worse after eating it and yet it still remains a constant struggle for me. Food is an addiction for me. I get my "highs" from sugar, carbs and the caffeine in chocolate. But like any addict I always feel worse afterwards and regret having used my drug of choice. Are you addicted to any foods? How do you combat your urges?


     I have faith that God will get me through this. I have faith that He will break the bonds of my addiction. I pray that you may have this faith also.
