Food has been my comfort and my torment for many years (59). I have tried many ways and many times to give up my addiction to food, all eventually unsuccessful. However, I feel like I'm at the edge of something new, and yes, I realize that it always starts like that! I have learned a few things during my struggles and I think I'm ready to give this up.
It's not that I mind being fat that much, although it has started to impact the quality of my life more than usual as I age, but the addiction itself that keeps me from being fully alive and awake. Eating allows me to exist inside a protective shell that is more comfortable than being aware of all my feelings about the shite in the world. That's what I want to give up before croak!
So, for today, I will assess how much food I need for the energy I'm expending and eat only that. I will decide one piece of crap at a time what I need for the situation, and food will not be the answer.
