I Have A One Of A Kind

I Do Not Want Any Child In America To Have My Childhood Because It Was Taken Away From Me Because I Just Wasn't Good Enough; Well I Am Good Enough Now.

I Began Reading Cook Books When I Was Six, Cause My Father Had Hundreds Of Cook Books In The Kitchen. I Was Obsessed With Cooking And Tasting Different Recipes. I Got Lost In Being A Compulsive Eater. It Brought Me Much Happiness. Sadness Too, Sure. But I Have To Say, And Compulsive Eaters Will Agree With Me, For That Few Seconds That You're Eating, Food Tastes Just Great.

Sometimes It's Just 'oh My God, I Love The Taste Of Fried Oysters On French Bread With Mayonnaise And An Order Of French Fries.' I'm Not Going To Lie To You - I Deal With That Temptation Every Single Day, Many Times.

Every Day You Eat Is Every Day You Have To Work Out.

Stop Trying To Find Something In Food That Will Make You Feel Better. I Used To Have Eating Disorders; I'd Binge And Purge All The Time: Fried Oysters, Po' Boys, Muffulettas, Beignets, Coffee And Doughnuts. I Tried To Medicate Myself With Food When People Made Fun Of Me Or Hit Me With A Bat In School. I'd Always Turn To Food. Knowing What I Now Know, I'd Turn To Me.
