I hope his situation improves.<br />For people like us, who have long turned to food for comfort, these times bring the greatest challenges. It's also something that in many parts of the world, has become part of the culture--it's what we do. We even define it in its own category..."comfort food."<br />When a family member passes, we have a big feast after the funeral...<br />When I think back on all of the times I indulged in the name of comforting my emotions, I must admit--it did take me away for a little while, but the pain remained--waiting for me to finish eating. <br />One day, the perspective will shift--a groove will be found and suddenly the thought of a "day off" will no longer make sense--because what you're doing is so in tune with what you enjoy and how wonderful you're feeling...It's all in our perspectives, Natalie.<br />We truly do not need the stretch of perfect time in order to succeed.

It's the idea that "tomorrow" never comes. I'll always start "tomorrow." I'll do better "tomorrow." But that is a lie. Because when tomorrow gets here, it's now "today." And again comes the idea that I'll start "tomorrow..." Rinse, repeat.<br /><br />There is no yesterday, except to learn from. There is no tomorrow, except to help with planning. There is really only today.

I know it's true, but I still turn to food. There is a part of me that thinks maybe this applies to minor problems, but my mother died! That is a valid excuse, right? And now my father is sick in hospital, maybe dying. So I can eat whatever I want, right? Surely the rule is, if the situation is bad enough then using food to self-medicate is just fine.<br /><br />I know it's not just fine. I guess I've been hoping that if I get a long enough stretch of perfect then I'll be in the habit and it will be easier to stick to in bad times. But that long stretch of perfect never happens.
