PWLP: Week Seven - Lesson Three

Personal Evaluation

1. When are you most tempted to overeat? It could be a certain time of day, a specific event or emotion.     I am most tempted to overeat at family gatherings, and when I'm bored. When I get together with my immediate family or my in-laws, I always feel the temptation to eat more than I need or want.

2. Describe the specific elements of your answer to question one which cause you to be tempted.    I feel overwhelmed with the unspoken pressure and habit to eat without thinking. I want to eat all foods that are bad for me, and make me feel awful. I feel a certain pressure by some people to eat things that are on my "forbidden" list. Additionally, I feel the temptation to eat when I get bored - everything seems more interesting and delicious when I have nothing else to think about but food - especially the food sitting in front of me.

3. How can you change your attitude toward these elements and avoid temptation? Can the P.R.A.Y concept help? How?    I think that the A and Y principles of the PRAY concept are the most useful to avoiding temptation. I need to know that I have the power to overcome temptation and I am responsible for the choices I do make. I am not helpless in this. Those to me, are the most important points of all.
