And it's nice to know that I am surrounded (digitally and in person) by people who understand and support me.Anna Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501987629217550079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059458276630518177.post-68939770912730291712010-08-02T08:43:42.627-06:002010-08-02T08:43:42.627-06:00Eating can be an emotional response for me too.

I've tried to break it, and have made some progress, but I think a part of it will always still be there.Kimhttp://perfectlycursedlife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059458276630518177.post-7866146892887995612010-08-01T09:09:52.567-06:002010-08-01T09:09:52.567-06:00I also used to be very insecure; it took years of ...I also used to be very insecure; it took years of working hard and seeing good results come of it to realize that I'm not totally incompetent!Anna Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501987629217550079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059458276630518177.post-15280163978450486582010-07-31T23:25:09.416-06:002010-07-31T23:25:09.416-06:00Good for you for coming far.

My habits aren't really about food but I definitely do struggle with a lot of deep seated insecurity issues.Sadakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164802394129505587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059458276630518177.post-85184600640405064832010-07-30T14:20:23.099-06:002010-07-30T14:20:23.099-06:00Ooooh, yes, I love the Yorks.

I've found that if I have a tiny little chocolate I eat it in several tiny bites to make it last longer, and that's satisfying enough (most of the time).
