What's True Will Always Be

Weight... what hasn't been said already?

If you've been following me any amount of time, you probably already know a lot of my weight story. I've been overweight almost all of my adult life, but have felt overweight as long as I can remember.

Weight isn't simple. It's not just, oh cut out the cookies fatty. I gained almost every pound by not eating, sometimes for days, then binging on cheeseburgers and pizza. It's not a self control issue, it's a self hate issue.

I have lifelong food guilt from being hungry so much as a kid. I've had to do a ton of internal work for this weight release to start happening. All that being said, if anyone has even looked briefly at what we've done to our food supply, and how most of us obtain food and how we live our lives, of course we're all over weight!

Most of us simply don't have a life that supports being healthy. However, I am reminded of a quote I read once,
