True deprivation is how I lived before OA—in bondage to food and fat. ~ Voices of Recovery (Kindle Location 2756)How do you hide
an excess hundred pounds?
How can you think
eating alone hides the truth
from anyone at all?
I look at a diet and feel deprived
never having tried at all
to see how well it might work.
Deprivation, though, needs no food
to crush my soul to a flattened souvenir.
But not always. When I figure out
how really to let go, how to quit obeying
exhortations to fear God, how to accept
the love and acceptance...
then it is, I know having the food is deprivation
while having faith fills any void to overflowing.
