Step 4: Beginning to Understand

Step Four helps us begin to understand why we turn to food in the first place.

Not because we’re weak — but because something deeper has been driving the behavior.

As I wrote in my book:

“The point is to understand why we’ve done some of the things we’ve done and learn it is no longer necessary to eat to deal with our emotions.”— 12 Steps to Recovery From Overeating

Many of us have been emotional eaters for years.

But when we take an honest look at our resentments and fears with God’s help, we can begin real emotional and spiritual healing — and we don’t have to numb those feelings with food anymore.
