For years I struggled with over-eating, food addiction, binge-eating or whatever label you want to put on it!  I lived to eat. I did not eat to live! This goes back to childhood. I remember “sneaking” food into my bedroom as young as age 4 or 5! Why? I don’t know? If I am 100% authentic, I still don’t know to this day. Everyone wants to know why? Stress?  Emotions? Victim of abuse? I don’t know and honestly, I don’t care anymore!  I could blame my parents and the “obesity gene.” I could blame being an over-looked middle child.  I could blame being made fun of at an early age already for being “chubby.” OR, I could take self-responsibility.
