I thought i knew what sparked my unhealthy relationship with food and that was having kids.
Until today! i was watching a programme about eating and food relationships and how to trace back to the source, it wasnt until i sat back and thought hard it was actually when my mother passed away, i didnt comfort eat the point was i didnt eat hardly at all and i was very slim, then 2 yrs later my younger sister died in which time i had had my first baby. I attributed weight gain with having a baby but i now recall getting back into my skinny jeans 2 weeks after my girl was born then 3 months later my sister passing. Then the weight crept up and up. I just put it down to being at home munching all day because im a mum?
So although i lost weight when my mum passed i think it triggered a bad relationship with food from one extreme to another.
Does that seem to make sense ????

    Makes sense to me. Now you just have to go from here and work with what you have learned. Keep it up!
