While kicking drugs was painfully difficult, realizing the food addiction and acting on it is becoming increasingly more difficult. I don't need crack to survive on a daily basis, but I do need food. I knew that with drugs, I would need to walk away from them and anyone that was associated with them. But food? I don't know where to begin and am finding that food is ruling my life much like drugs or cigarettes. I am more scared of this addiction than crack. And I almost died on crack. I am an upper middle class working mother who has watched her identity change and now I have taken on the identity of the fat person in any room. I don't want to be that person yet I find myself failing on diets. I was beautiful, thin and relatively happy at one point and now I am just a big blob of a person. I don't wear what I want to wear, I wear what I have to wear. At one time I wouldn't be caught dead without a pedicure and now I am embarrassed to go because my ankles are not as thin as they were. I don't even want to go out. I am planning food binges and avoiding people because I know they are judging me and how fat I have become. I get irritated when someone stands between me and my food. I have been clean from crack for 4 + years. I have a 3 year old precious girl who adoringly looks at me and thinks I am beautiful and perfect and I don't want to teach her to be who I have become. She doesn't realize that I am obese. She doesn't realize that I am not perfect. I have transferred my addiction to something that is crippling my life.
