Contempt

I am slowly reading through a book called "Wounded Heart". Today I read about the concept of contempt for others and or self. One way self contempt is shown is by over indulging in food. Overeating can be harmful, causing a plethora of health problems. Whenever I am anxious I turn to food or other harmful things to pacify myself. I am ashamed to admit this but, I turn to almost anything before I turn to God. I usually turn to God to pick up the pieces of another broken situation.
