I know what you mean. It's pretty much common knowledge that anorexia
and
bulemia are often the result of low self-esteem, correct? I was
sexually
abused as a child. I used to think I might have turned to food for
comfort,
thus, obesity. Now it's pretty clearn that insulin resistance led to
obesity. But that doesn't rule out eating for comfort.
This I *do* know; changing my diet made me feel like I was in control
and
few things feel as good as that, to me at least. Finally, at 33 years
of
age, I see myself as a strong, beautiful woman. The ability to love
one's
self, in my opinion, is just as important to your overall health as
what you
eat.
