Road of denial

"We stand alone at the kitchen counter mindlessly eating whatever food will curb our boredom, or our stress, or our anxiousness and wonder later why we gained a pound that week. We blame it on water retention, we blame it on our last meal, we blame it on the scale. We don't want to admit to others or even to ourselves that we are using food to fill our aching hearts. We don't want to admit to ourselves that we don't know what to do, that we are frightened of what seems like an insurmountable task -- that of losing 20, 30, 50 pounds. And so we continue our pattern, we continue eating to numb our emotions, we continue gaining weight, we continue on the road of denial." ~Kim Kabar, "Hungry for Less: Transform Your Relationship with Food ...
