Food does not fix relationships.

Negative feelings and resentments have a way of resurfacing even when we
think we've moved beyond them. Since these feelings are uncomfortable, we
look for ways to get rid of them. Many of us tried to stuff them down with
food, and some of us tried to starve them away.

Attempting to ignore anger and resentment doesn't work very well. What we
need is a way of mending relationships so that negative feelings do not
become excuses to abuse food and our bodies.

Instead of trying to get even with someone we feel has mistreated us, and
instead of misusing food in an effort to feel better, we have new options.
We can ask for help from a Higher Power. We can examine our attitudes and
behavior and keep making amends promptly. We can seek help from a friend or
counselor. We can talk to the other person about ways to resolve the
conflict. Finally, when we have done everything we can do, we can let go and
let God.

What I can't fix today, I can turn over.
