Overeating
The Problem
Overeating can be compelling, mysterious, and especially
problematic. With alcoholism or drug abuse, the person can
simply stop using the substance. However, we all have to
eat, so the person who tends to overeat has their problem in
their face every day.
Overeating can be compelling and very difficult to resist. It
can sneak up on a person, because it takes time to gain
weight.
And of course, your problem is very public. People see the
result, and this can be very shaming.
You may feel stuck in the way the Apostle Paul wrote:
How come your faith hasn't seemed adequate to give you the
victorious life Jesus promised?
Some Promises
After all, Jesus promised:
You probably know many more promises in the Bible.
What Is Wrong?
Somehow, the promises seem greater than the reality you are
experiencing.
Is this the way it should be?
How come your faith it isn't working?
These are reasonable questions.
In fact, they are the right questions.
There Is An Answer
All the above scriptures really are true.
However, you just need detailed instructions as to how to
appropriate Jesus' provision into your life, so you can be set
free.
The core issue in overeating is that the person has a subtle
but profound sense of not being OK. This low grade negative
feeling needs to be kept at bay to make life tolerable, and
food seems to relieve the feelings temporarily.
My book "I Will Give You Rest" addresses the whole array of
human struggles that Jesus can heal. the chapter order is for
the majority of needs.
However, your specific issue needs specific attention, and so
I would recommend that you read the book in a different
order.
Recommended Sequence
I would recommend that you start with Chapter 9, which will
show you why you have this low grade, constant sense of
not being OK. There is a profound reason for this, and you
need to understand the cause before you can apply the cure.
Then go to Chapter 12, which describes who you really are
inside. You are OK just the way you are, so there is a way to
be at peace without food. Then you problem can evaporate.
Then go to Chapter 11, which will identify a powerful tool that
you possess that is indispensable in your healing journey.
Finally, go back to Chapter 2 and read the rest of the chapters
in order.
Your Journey
I would recommend that you write down somewhere this
revised sequence of chapters so that you will not forget it -
remember, 9, 12, 11, 2. Of course, you can always come
back here if you forget.
Be aware that when you read the chapters out of order, you
will bump into some terms with which you are not familiar,
because they were taught in earlier chapters which you have
not yet read.
However, this should not interfere with the main messages in
the chapters you are reading out of order.
You are free to spend as much time as you like on
this website, and you can jump in and out as your
schedule gives you time to read. When you come
back, you can just take up where you left off by
clicking on the appropriate chapter in the links on the
left of the web pages.

left of each web page.

For what I am doing, I do not understand. For
what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I
hate, that I do (Romans 7:15 NKJV).
How come your faith hasn't seemed adequate to give you the
victorious life Jesus promised?
Some Promises
After all, Jesus promised:
….where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2
Corinthians 3:1, all NKJV).
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted . . .
To proclaim liberty to the captives . . .
To set at liberty those who are oppressed . . . (Luke 4:
18).
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:
30).
I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).
You probably know many more promises in the Bible.

Somehow, the promises seem greater than the reality you are
