My True Lover: Food
Hello my name is PoeticTwirler and I am an emotional eater.
Since I was a little girl I have loved food. I come from a family where it is a big influence in our lives. I am Italian, Romanian, Irish, Scottish, English, and Germany. Food is a large part of all their cultures and large part of mine.
I have always loved sweets, and carbs, anything that tasted good; not caring of the affects it will have on my body. Food is my friend and it has always been. When I pick up food and eat it; it is like like comfort. Like all my feelings or any thought I am having at that moment just disappears when the food hits my tongue. Food is like a sponge just absorbing anything I am feeling; it is a pain reliever.
I have been through so much through my life in the past few years. Any bad or negative memories I remember end with food. Warm, soft, sweet, smooth, crunchy all describe my favorite foods. They give me good, happy feelings; that hopefully it will take the pain away.
But it never permanently took the pain always just temporarily. But this problem I have just keeps making me bigger and bigger. I get heavier and heavier. I get weaker and weaker. I get sleepy and sleepier. I get madder and madder at food. I just don’t know why I have this connection I have with food.
Food is something that is always there. It is always there. All I know is that food is my comfort. Food is always there. I am an emotional eater. In definition it means any time I feel something I like to eat food. For all the girls like me and feel this same way and have the same connection with food all I say is lets drop the food and stick together.
