I won't lie.... I'm on the other side of the coin... Food scares me to death!!! It's my greatest affection, and my worst enemy. It can make me physically ugly or beautiful...( according to my OWN mind) and I allow it to determine my worth and esteem. My control and value. It's everything I can do to eat in the first place, r if i do to stop, and not go "lose it". I would give the WORLD if I could go back in time, and change the time all of this started and enjoy food, life, etc. again. I used to NEVER think about it before and I was never fat, and never missed a date. very popular in school, but somewhere i got the notion the thinner i was the better i looked. Now when i run into the counter i get bruises on my hip, cause im bonier than i used to be. But i secretly LIKE IT! WTF!!! I've been seeing a eating disorder specialist for a year now, and theres only been mininmal change so far. But I think your right. All this obesity epidimic hype has actually scared me so bad i feel it's pushed me deeper into my wrong thinking and BAD behaviors. Not to blame it on ANYONE BUT ME, but, that, and kate moss gets me thinking too much!!! Anyhow...just thoughts.
