Me

I started eating my feelings away when I was around 13. My grandfather had just died and I was living with my grandmother to help out until my parents sold our house and moved also. Grandmother and I would go to Kmart at 2am and buy junk food, like real junk food and eat it all before 5am just to have her up and making a country breakfast at that time. I gained a lot of weight and never did get it off. Fast forward to after my divorce and first child. Dating an abuser, when he would start in on me I would not eat to the point of starving and gagging to throw up nothing in my stomach at all. When I would finally eat I was so hungry I ate way more than I should. Second marriage and second child I am much happier now and trying to get in better shape. My son doesn't over eat but my daughter much like me learned the behavior from my grandmother. I'm trying to be a better me for my children and especially my daughter so that she will strive to be a better her. Its hard and I keep falling off the wagon so to speak. But here I am.
