I love the story about ...Wow, Gene, that was great. I love the story about not eating, and about the issue of control there. Sometimes, I allow myself to eat to salve emotions. And I bite my nails when I'm stressed. I do absolutely know that these are choices, even if they are hard choices. I am a huge believer that in life we should never want to give away our power. Own our power. We choose. Others don't define us. Foods don't define us. Whatever choice we make predetermines a result, and we need to remain accountable for that. It is harder for some than others, and, if it is, then you need to own who you are and get the help you need. You're welcome for mytwo cents ;-)Pamela Fagan Hutchinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400007405575728478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737563154737288587.post-5549739110888607492012-03-30T10:38:57.958-04:002012-03-30T10:38:57.958-04:00I couldn't have said it any better. This is ex...I couldn't have said it any better. This is exactly what I think about the situation. I do get frustrated because I think sometimes too much emphasis is put on the food intake in general. They call it a disorder. Is it? Yes.. no? I suppose. But I've been disordered, too, then. I used to chew on my knuckles when I was really nervous. Yep. When I was 10 years old. And then one day I told myself (at the age of 11), enough was enough! What I was doing was not healthy or cool and I decided to stop. There has to be a strong resolve within a person for change to happen. Control lives within. You just gotta let it out the basement.Yum Yuckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274251538801259351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737563154737288587.post-73347662901187654202012-03-28T23:52:20.589-04:002012-03-28T23:52:20.589-04:00great post Gene. I've been struggling with a s...great post Gene. I've been struggling with a similar issue lately, though not food related. More so emotions/people/situations leading to other emotions. One less than stellar thing can ruin my whole day. But really, *I* am in control of how *I* let everything affect me. We are ALL in control of our own happiness & choices, food, other people, situations, etc. are not. But for now, i want some cheezy bread.
