I have been really struggling to get to the place where I don't place any emphasis on food, it's just food. I realized not long ago that I had made food my god, in that it was the total center of my world. I would be eating dinner and I was already thinking about what I wanted to eat tomorrow. And I would "check out" mentally and emotionally with eating and then not even realize how much I had actually eaten. The Lord has been giving me a new appreciation for food, for the way that food sustains life, and is helping me to understand that food should never be the end all and be all of my existence! Food is just food, it is not God. Only God is God, and He wants to be at the center of my world.

I can relate to what you are saying, I was (or am) finding it ruled my thinking too much. I long for eating to be just something I do to stay alive and not focus so much of my time on it. I long for the day when I suddenly realise that I forgot to eat lunch I always seem to remember to eat even though I am not hungry at all.
