Who told you you aren't attractive? They are a liar and they are not looking out for your best interests, but trying to steal everything you could have, kill the person you are and destroy everything you have ever accomplished, You are a compulsive eater. Has anyone ever suggested you talk to God about this. I have found that when I am doing something that hurts anyone, including my self, it is because I am trying to distract my self from, or anesthetize, a wound that I received to my soul, in the past. In other words, when I was thirty two and chose to marry a woman who couldn't have children, who would never really commit but, later leave me without looking back unless she "felt" lonely, I was reacting to an incident that happened when I was eight years old, where I vowed to never have children, because I refused to be like my dad. When I learned I had made that vow, I had to let God take me back to process the emotions of the event where the vow originated, grieving the pain and loss, so I could receive the freedom that was on the other side. I have grieved a lot more junk that contributed to my choice of a wife, grieved the loss of that wife, and grieved a lot of stuff that would have kept me in an unhealthy cycle of seeking intimacy that was physical when, what I really wanted and needed was intimacy that was mental, emotional and spiritual. Now I can see how much pain I have survived, how I survived it, how God has healed it, and how God is utilizing me to lead others into His healing. To that end, I can tell you that God made you. He loves you, as you are. You are precious in His sight, and He never takes His eyes off you. He adores you and he has brought a man into your life who is willing to adore you, and who you, apparently, would like to adore too. Why would you listen to, and agree with, the enemy of your soul who accuses you of not being attractive, when the evidence says otherwise. More than likely, the enemy came to you at a point where you were hurting and promised to help you make sense of the situation, where you were hurt. He then offered the reasoning that you were reponsible and needed to change your self so you wouldn't be hurt again. You find comfort in food, so you condemn your self for eating, agreeing with the enemy, agree with him regarding your appearance and probably even argue with God for making you the way you are. Stop it! If anyone accuses you of being your behavior, whether in your head, or otherwise, call them on the lie and let them know you are a creation of the God who created this universe and He didn't create anything that wasn't awesome and wonderful. Stop agreeing with the enemy and start listening to, and agreeing with, God. He differentiates between you and your behavior and, even while chastising your behavior, affirms you. The enemy says you are fat. God says "Cindy, I love, adore, cherish and treasure you, you don't need to eat that, and your body won't take it well."
