What Masters You?

What Masters You?  Do you tell yourself, "I'm going to be good to myself today ...and not each such and such, or... not do such and such", only to give in later in the day and do or eat the exact thing you vowed not to do? Does your behavior seem compulsive sometimes? Could it be that these 'compulsions' are actually a way of relieving stress or distracting you from another thing altogether?
A dear friend, who struggles with eating well, sent me the article entitled "What Masters You", and link below, which addresses this very subject. Perhaps it will shed some light on why you don't always stick to your diet or fulfill those resolutions you make with yourself.
