Many who have a vested interest in shaping the scope and nature of the issue want to make obesity your problem. And it is in many ways ,but I feel we need to expand the conversation, to include many many contributing factors.

I am responsible  for my food intake ,but I never understood I was using food to self soothe and self medicate . Food has been my drug ,and  I Lived to Eat ,instead of eating tolive. I do not believe I am all alone in this ,and now I face my drug fully aware of the issue. My argument is based on knowledge and education ,and I spent 2 years  receiving Mental Health Treatment for my Binge Eating . I have a better understanding , and I can  care for myself  ,with foods. And yes ,I often struggle , but at least I am mindful of what I am eating. Rarely do Ifind myself  passively  eating.

My food relationship has been  strained ,to say the least. ” Is food a substance “?   For me food is my drug ,and  I am working to engage others ,and  I hope to assist others  to fatten up on knowledge.  Let’s be mindful of what  we are eating,why we are eating,how we are eating, etcetc…..

Obesity is a byproduct ,and my strained food relationship contributed  in me reaching 350 pounds. I ate my stress . Food allowed me to soothe and destroy my sense of self.www.obesitythunderbay.ning.com  is  eager to find supporters  and offer education about food and the foodenvironment.

Let’s build a community obesity action plan ,one with Integrity and Dignity. Obese People are not the Enemy.
