fear of food

Up to my early 20s I was able to eat ridiculous amounts of food and not gaining a pound!!!! But one day it all changed, I started gaining weight like crazy!!!
At the time I started to deprive myself from food and over exert myself. I used to allow my self having a cup of vegetable soup per day!!! And sometimes that would be my only nutritional intake. I used to keep a FAT DIARY!!! The guy I am with now for the past 5 years made me throw it out. I don’t remember what happened but I started eating normal again after a while. Must be love!

Today I find myself needing to lose 25lbs. ever since I started to seriously go to the gym; I have to really pay attention to my tendency of being afraid of food. Every time I eat, I hear myself judge myself. I’m really careful not to fall into the trap of my bad habits.

Any advice of how you deal with food issues!!!!!
