Last one from the archives… Here is the final part of the letter, part III, that I gave to my husband close to two years ago, when I realized I was a compulsive overeater and food addict. I do not eat in order to live, I live to eat. I think about food all the time, what I’m [...]

Here is the final part of the letter, part III, that I gave to my husband a little over two years ago, when I realized I was a compulsive overeater and food addict. I do not eat in order to live, I live to eat. I think about food all the time, what I’m going [...]

Once again, from the archives… Here is a continuation, part 2, of the letter I gave to my husband upon discovering that I was a compulsive overeater close to two years ago. I do eat because I’m hungry. In fact, as you may know, I don’t like feeling hungry. But there are many times that hunger [...]

While I’m away on vacation, I thought I would run some of my very first posts which would be great for me to see where I came from, and hopefully interesting for you to read as well. I’m not quite sure where to begin. I didn’t know I was a compulsive overeater until close to [...]

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’m feeling really good for some reason. Good enough that I’m truly dabbling with the idea of not using my food scale and measuring cups for weighing and measuring, as well as not writing down my calories every day.

This post is on WATRD, but I’m running it as a cross-post here as well. Inspired by the post by Kim at Adventures in Wanting last week, I wanted to further explore a topic she proposed that I found very interesting. She essentially asked – knowing what you know now, if you could go back [...]

In a cute article by Marc Parent, called “the Newbie Chronicles”, he quotes from a study, saying “Happiness is contagious, as are other good behaviors like quitting smoking and staying thin. [...]

Over the weekend, I did something that I had been hoping to put off for another few years – my husband and I told our 10-year old daughter about my eating disorder, that I was a compulsive (over)eater. My sincere thanks go out to MamaV for unknowingly giving me the kick in the pants I [...]

Wow, I can’t believe that these words are about to come out of my mouth, so to speak, but I recently had kind of an “ah-ha” moment — I realized that food is a little bit less important to me right now. Not a whole lot less, maybe only 10% or so, but a little [...]
