Food has been my entertainment, my crutch, my friend, and my shoulder to cry on. Had I chosen lettuce, there probably wouldn't be an issue, instead I chose chocolate, pizza, cookies, etc...nothing comforts like carbs, that is, until your pants won't zip. I'm on a journey. I'm relearning portion control, wise(r) choices (I won't completely live without chocolate), growing a garden, exercising, and learning to love myself.
