So today, as promised, I want to expose to any of my followers out there the battle I have had the last few years with food addiction. Historically I never thought too much about food until I became ill with liver disease and began to study holistic healing through nutrition. Once I learned about food as medicine, the question then began to surface, "Why, knowing what I know, did I often make poor food choices?" After much denial over time, I was finally able to admit that I had an addiction to food and was using food as an emotional stress reliever rather than a healing agent or a proper fuel source. It was an easy, socially acceptable "drug" for me, and was oh so satisfying on many levels. Taste, touch, texture, social interactions around food...all of the above. And more. Sound familiar to anyone out there??? I would love to hear about your relationship to food, in the good times and the bad. Tomorrow night, how I justified my addiction (we all have our ways, right?)...
See you tomorrow. Choose well.
