A question from Cindy
I just finished reading your book, and was incredibly moved.... the honesty was painful for me, having battled my own weight for so long, and the lies we tell to ourselves-- your story has really made me thing about the choices I am making in my own life. I always was a binge eater -- eating as if there would never be another bite in the future. The balance you describe is very appealing, and I hope to use some of those thought processes in my future approach to food.
I also chuckled, smiled and laughed out loud reading recollections of your family's devotion to food, Thank you for sharing your life, and the people who influenced you so much.
Thank you, I think I will be re-reading your book many times over....
Answer:
I'm delighted you found my book worthwhile --- really, it's important and gratifying that others who've battled food and weight have found their way to "Born Round." And I can tell from what you say, specifically, that you have a lot in common with me. That "eat now" before the fast, before it goes away, before before before . . . it's a gripping psychology that I think many others don't understand. And it's dangerous, and it's very, very hard to overcome. Hang in there. I still struggle with it every day, really.
