Eat to live!

I love food, and I am a food addict! I am making my lifestyle change using MFP and all the great support that comes with it.
I think the biggest change we all need to make is that we need to:
EAT to LIVE, and NOT LIVE to EAT!
So, somewhere we forgot that we are eating to fuel our incredible bodies. Our systems all work together like a machine. We all mess up our fine-tuned systems and gunk up our bodies up by over-eating. Once our "machine" is out of whack, it takes a lot of time and patience to steer it back on course.
I tell myself eating to live is important, but living to eat is not! I remember to tell myself this every time I want to over-indulge.
I hope this "connects" with some of you and that it gives you motivation and support.
Good luck to everyone!
