NSV: BACKSTORY: originally, my parents growing up didn't celebrate 4th of July when each of them immigrated (dad from Greece to Ohio/ mom from Italy to Illinois). Once theirs families had friends, they did. My dad didn't really care too much, but my mom loves being center of attention and she always created these lavish parties when I was a kid. Mom fully believed her kids to be "seen and not heard" so it was easy for me to sneak away, I didn't feel included in the festivities so I did what I did best and disappeared, or hung around drunken adults and consumed ridiculous amounts of food and sweets. TODAY: Fast forward to this past week- usually I default to the same habits-cosume LOTS of food and suppress the panic of the holiday until it passes. This time, when I did eat non-healthy stuff, I did a good job of sticking to serving sizes and really assessing my hunger and what I needed. So my weight spiked, but I'm backish on track now. Thankfully I avoided binging so I considered my high cal days as refeeds and I'm pressing on forward ⏩ with my plan.

I'm genuinely so happy for you. It can be challenging to identify food triggers. Or any emotional trigger, for that matter, because it forces us to step outside of ourselves. You are such an inspiration. 💙

Thanks 😊👍❤️ it's been a journey. It hasn't always been easy, but it's rewarding. I've been doing EMDR to release trauma since Nov 2022, and I'm finally wrapping up family of origin before moving on to the next section of life. This has helped me see these habits from a different perspective.

Life revolved around food when I was a kid - when was I going to get to eat? Answer - when my dad was hungry. Every celebration was about food. I stayed super skinny until I was in my 20s. Weighed 86 pounds in high school. Weighed 115 in my 30s after I had my son. Then I was 46 and went into menopause. By then I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Not a good thing for me. I became obese. We all are haunted by our pasts. Hugs.
