I decided to start this blog back up. When I was going through everything to get it setup again I saw that I originally started this back in September of 2011. That feels like forever ago.
At this point, everything feels like forever ago.
I'm a mess, to say the least.
Today a regular at the store was talking about her family and how some of them were overweight and that her daughter has always had to be mindful of how healthy she is. I mentioned that it's a very hard thing and she kind of nodded her head and the conversation naturally moved on to the next topic.
But I'm still thinking about it. She doesn't understand.
Most people don't understand.
How can they though? From my experience, people who have relationships with food have gone through some sort of trauma. The affair between feelings and food stemming from that point, different for everyone, and growing from there. Everyday it becomes stronger. Control getting weaker.
We eat because we are depressed, we are depressed because we eat. What a vicious cycle so closely tied with our emotions.
I don't want to be that girl anymore.
