Daily Post--3/18/08

I have to agree with may of the other posters, that genetics has a great deal to do with it, but I believe for me a big part of it is lonliness. Not so much being alone physically but more emotinoally. I can be in a room full of people and I still feel very lonely much of the time. I would also say depression has played a role in it over time. We eat because we are depressed and then we look in the mirror and see that we are fat so we are more depressed and we eat even more.

Hiding from my past originally. When I learned, well figured out, that my past no longer defined me, and never did, I realized I didn't even know who I really was. I still don't. I just spent 3 weeks in intensive therapy and still have no idea. But I no longer turn to food, so I guess that's a plus? lol Denise

MYSELF.. then the meds and grazing...

I loved food. Point blank! LB
