BRAVO!! Good for you, for realizing this weakness. I think there is a bit of this in all of us and someday, it could be the very reason that we end up sick, or worse. Thanks for sharing and reminding us to love ourselves enough to eat for today and tomorrow, whatever may come. :)

I like that you're saying it isn't JUST about eating to be healthy to live, but it's in remembering the other joys in life and all the other things to celebrate and cherish. You're right, there is SO much more we can cherish every single day, rather than food. Im happy you have had what I refer to as a defining moment and it certainly seems like such! Yeah for you!

thankks BT and Sweeite (ImLuuvd)... I am feeling pretty good about this realization. I am hoping that now that I understand it ... I'll be able to get some control back into my life. I know its still habit and desire involved with my love of food, but at least I have a new direction to work towards. Im rather good about this discovery, hoping it will lead me to a healthier future

I think a lot of us relied on food for comfort and had the "why not!" feeling. It's good that you have come to this realization and can move on without putting so much importance on food. And SHAME SHAME on your ex for saying that to you!
