Our Relationship to Food

That's a great point, I definitely believe in finding a balance. It just seems to me like there is a large community of people who are on the side of over- restriction, you know? I appreciate you reaching out, and am glad that the words resonate with you.

You are correct that there is a large community that over-restricts! They do need to hear that life is not about denying yourself every pleasure, this is why I up-voted your post! In my life at least, over-restriction and over-indulgence are two sides to the same coin. I find myself restricting until I can't handle it anymore. Then I indulge for a while until sickness and guilt causes me to restrict again! Neither is healthy in my life, I can feel the negative effects of both lifestyles. This is why I look for balance (although it is very difficult!). Keep writing! :)
