For the next few days, I will be talking about some of the slogans that have impressed me in my walk toward the light of truth that has set me free from food addiction and obsession.
"Easy does it, but do it!" applies to so many areas of my life. Probably because I am (or was) a big-time procrastinator. I spent much of my time dreading what needed to be done out of fear of not being able to do it...or thinking that it would be too hard. Poor Pammy, Poor Pammy, Pour Pammy another drink (or take another bite, which would lead into a binge) for me.
I learned "easy does it, but do it" with my abstinence first. And along with that, using the tools that kept me distracted from my first loves (sugar, flour and wheat). I needed to revamp my whole thought process. People in program (my sponsor and friends) taught me by their examples.

Hi Pam,
Good topic!! "Easy Does It, But Do It" is a principle I am trying to apply to my life right now. I've been struggling with that panic that hits when I look at all that I need to do which is followed by the inability to start because I feel so overwhelmed. What I realized in the last week is that I have put too much on my plate. I not only do this with food, but I do this with activity. So, I have been prayerfully pulling things out of my life, weighing and measuring so to speak, so that I can put myself in a position where I can "Easy Does It, But Do It."

Christine, For me, there are two sides of this coin. I have to also remember "balance and moderation in all things"... that's a daily struggle for me.
As you can guess, I am compulsive and jump into many things half praying on my way...(You smiling with me?). When my son, Dan, suggested that I might want to set-up a blog, I was already in motion!
Later in the day, I glanced in God's direction and said, "You okay with this?"
I added, "If this is not Your will, I know it will be obvious because it will fizzle..." (Is "fizzle" a word?)
My husband says if I say it and you understand it, then it is a word.
