You are so sweet. Thank you. I'll be your eating parnter.
My kids have even noticed. "Now, Mom, you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
(So keep in mind that little duckie may come back to bite you one day!)Seriously, I've dropped about 20 lbs in the past year, and while that is good, I definitely could afford to lose it, now it's in a cycle where I just don't want to eat, actually can't eat.
Stress? yes, health issues, which make it even more important for me to eat. Therapy? You betcha; I think that's the root of it. I just read "The Body Never Lies" by Alice Miller (someone had recommended it) and it hit me hard. I've always known that my not eating has been a self-punishment, a form of control over past csa issues I had no control over. But I'm defeating the purpose.
I wonder if it's manipulative, too. Like I'm screaming "Pay attention to me, can't you see what's happening?" I remember once as a teenager that I dropped to 75 lbs (I'm not a very big person) and nobody noticed or offered a helping hand--bad home life.
I hate this.
What should we have for breakfast?
thanks for writing,
antigua
