Married to program

Often as a food addict in recovery I come across foods that look tantalizing. Smell intoxicating.

I was thinking about this phenomenon in respect to my marriage. It's a fact of life that there are women who are not my wife who might be very beautiful and attractive. However, they are not my wife. So, while I can appreciate another woman's beauty, she's still off limits to me. 

So too with food. Foods that I can't have might look great. I might remember them tasting amazing. But, if it's not my food, it's not my food. And getting involved with those foods leads me down a bad and unhealthy path.
