Dear food letter

I was suppose to write a "dear john" letter to food. Did anyone else do that. Thought it sounded silly at first but it made me feel better. I am putting here. Just thought someone else might agree. Carol8/3/04 Dear Food I want you to know that you have kept me captive long enough. You will no longer hold my days. I will not longer be a party to your destruction of my body. For 50 years you have controlled my life. Each day, each event in my life has been controlled by what I have eaten. Even memories of good times and special events have been remembered with what we ate. There will be no more of that. I will eat to live, not live to eat and you cannot make me change my mind about this. No matter what you do or how long it takes to recover I have found a cure for your obsession on me. I am having my stomach altered so you cannot get in there. You will not have the password and I will not give it to you. You will no longer be able to sneak in there when I am nervous or anxious. You will not be able to crawl in there while I am pre-occupied with TV, family or crisis. You have been found out and with all the technology of this world they have found out how to handle you. You will be demoted to just a small part of my life. I will take nutrition in pills and protein shakes. You will not be able to convince me that no one loves me but you. You have tried to kill me. You have taken over my life like any other drug that can overwhelm someone. You have had me mesmerized for so long that I almost gave up the things that really mean something to me. My husband, my children, my family, even myself. You tried to rob me and I am now bringing you to justice. You will now be put in your place. You are a small part of my life. You help keep my body running well, not controlling me. I will take my life back. I will lose the weight brought on by you. I will be active and enjoy this wonderful world. I will return to things I love. I will walk the beaches, and watch the sunsets over the water. I will be a loving and kind wife to my wonderful husband. My daughters will have a good example and a mother that can be active with them. I will never let you control me again. I am going to live without you taking over. Good-by Food, You will only see me in small doses. You will not be in control and if you are in my favor, I will allow you in my body. The rest of you Foods, in great quantity and bad for me, CAN GET LOST. I am Sincerely,
