My Struggle with Food

I was never a thin person. In grade school and high school, I was healthy and strong but not thin.

In college, food became a friend. Something that gave me comfort when I was sad, lonely, overwhelmed, scared, and when I was happy.

I have struggled for 15 years with controlling my weight and after 15 years, I have lost complete control. I try, but lose concentration after a day or a week and then plunge further out of control.

Beginning today, I am holding myself accountable. Food is not my friend. It is fuel for my body and for years I have been fueling myself with sludge and wondering why I felt so bad. It is time to turn this around.

While I am not willing to divulge my actual current weight, I will say that at this time, I am striving to lose 70 pounds.

It is a start. And it is just a piece of the puzzle.

So here it goes.

70 pounds to go
