~ VISION ~
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the
moment a single man contemplates it,
bearing within him the image of a
cathedral.
Antoine De Saint-Exupery

It never ceases to amaze me how the
disease of compulsive overeating
distorts the vision. Some compulsive
overeaters can look into a mirror and
see a fat person where there is
none. Others can look into the same
mirror and not see the weight that is
there.
Recovery brings new eyes to the
compulsive overeater. It lets us to see
what's really there in the
mirror. Recovery allows each of us to
see the cathedral we really are, rather
than the pile of rubble we think we
see. Recovery corrects our vision.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
As I work my recovery program, I will see myself as I really am, rather than seeing what the disease shows me.
