"What are you feeding?"

These four little words jolted me today.

I was at home, still sick, and watching Oprah to pass the time. She was interviewing Ruby, a U.S. woman with her own reality show about her struggle to shed much of the 700+ pounds she weighs.

They were talking about food addiction... when what you're doing to yourself is not about the food, but about something else... and Oprah posed the question, "what are you feeding? What's missing? What is that void that you are trying to fill with food?"

I've heard that concept a zillion times, but for some reason, when it was put into four succinct, powerful words... like I said, it jolted me. What am I feeding?

Food for thought.
