As Lorenzen says, you can't just quit eating cold turkey. People who struggle with food have to live in a world where they are bombarded with conflicting images of unhealthily thin models and a constant stream of advertising for cheap and easily accessible fast food. |
The part that really resonated for me was the "You eat to celebrate a goal. You eat when you miss a goal and you are consoling yourself. And everyone around you knows that you like food, so give you food-gifts."
