Turning

I have retired for the second time and am realizing how important it is to allow ourselves to feel our feelings.
The ususal response for me would be to go immediately to something else. I know this is a big change and a loss for me and if I do not take time to feel the grief of that I will be eating, dieting, or keeping super busy.
I am so excited about the emotional healing that is taking place in my heart.
Thank you for emotions, Lord, and for showing us how to handle them and express them.

What is Thin Within?

I first learned about Thin Within after reading the book Thin Within by Arthur and Judy Halliday.
My daughter, to whom I shall always be grateful, introduced me to the book. I later read Thin Again which was written by the same authors.
There is also a web site http://www.thinwithin.org/ with forums and online classes. These are free of charge. I have gone through all four workbooks. The workbooks may be purchased by contacting Thin Within.
Thin Within is based on two principles. One is physical, the other is spiritual. The physical principle is that we should eat only when hungry and stop when the hunger is satisfied. There are no good or bad foods. We learn to listen to our body signals.
The spiritual principle is that it is difficult to do this in our own strength. We often eat as a response to different emotions instead of to fuel our bodies. When this happens we develop a relationship with food.
The Thin Within studies help us to understand our relationship with our Heavenly Father and to go to Him for our needs instead of going to food.
