The Real Pride, The Real Present, Is

I Get Energy From Meditation Practice And From Eating Healthy Fresh Food, Only One Cup Of Espresso In The Morning, And Not Drinking Too Much.

You Can Say Anything You Want To Say About Me. But Don't You Dare Address Overweight People With Terrible Names And Ugly Remarks. That Is What Upsets Me.

I Took Desperate Measures To Lose Weight And Did Terrible Things To Myself. I Went From Diet Pills To Thirty Laxatives A Day To Throwing Up.

My Father Offered Me A Dollar For Every Pound I Would Lose As A Kid. It Didn't Work. And It Doesn't Really Work In The Long Run.

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.
