It makes so much sense and it is truly what I've needed to read lately. I've been very guilty of finding solace, comfort and companionship in food. If I'm tired I use it as a pick-me-up instead of lying down to take a nap. When I eat something I never used to eat and deem "bad" I punish myself by eating more...blocking out my thoughts of, "That is BAD...why did you eat that?!" As I was reading this post I was sitting here unwrapping Starbursts and popping them into my mouth. I haven't touched candy in ages!! Where was this desire for something sweet coming from? Fortunately enough I put the package away and I'm going to focus on learning routines for my class, but man did your words ever hit home. Thanks for always being so insightful...

Amazingly deep and amazingly true. Thank you for putting into words (quite eloquently, may I add) what I can only feel. As someone who has struggled from food-related issues in the past, and continues to struggle towards healthy balance, your words really touched my heart. This is amazing, Gena.
