Journaling:
How do I feel about food? Geesh. This could go on for days. I love food. I hate food. I have a whole complicated relationship with food. I really do love food. I love to cook and I love to eat.

I learned to cook when I was in grade school. 4-h cooking. I loved it. I even won blue ribbons at the county fair. I made fudge. I made cookies. You name it and I could cook it.

My parents both worked, so it was very helpful that I could cook. I could start dinner before they came home. I could feed my siblings. For a long time I thought of food as a hobby.

Food as a hobby is not a good thing. As I got older I would turn to my hobby if I got bored. Then it became a comfort for anger, sadness, frustration, stress. How crazy is that?

Now it's time to take the control away from the food. I'm in control. I get to decide when to eat. I will eat when I'm hungry. My emotions do not need food! They need me to take care of: me. Period.
