Yeah, Kathy's right, if you deny yourself in the wrong way, or without God's 
power to do it, you may well feel unloved, eat all you can etc, etc.

Don't be dishearted though because (as I said earlier) God's isn't done with 
you and He has lots of ways to bring you so close . . . and to take from you 
those desires you once had.
