I am struggling not to allow others to dominate me, the less I allow others to have their way the less I end up copying their eating styles. Therefore, I must be strong because I see this as a kind of recovery process. I am trying to overcome the influence others have on me in this and other areas of my life and therefore I see this as a kind of codependent battle. I am not addicted to food but I do find that my desire and willingness to please others interferes with what is best for me. It isn't a bad thing to be pleasant to other people but it is a roadblock to my weight loss and therefore I have to get tough both on myself and others. I am also recognizing the impact that my physical injuries have on me and I am trying to provide solace for myself through small "pleasures" or rewards and those happen to be food because I am a bit of a gourmet and maybe even a gourmande. I so love the whole food/hospitality/social thing... I must be more careful.
