Unearthing... Me

"In this context, compulsive eating is an affirmation of the human spirit. It is our way of saying: 'You cannot beat me down. Although I am vulnerable and believe I need your love, although I might change what I say and what I do to please you, there is a part of me that will remain intact no matter what. This part of me cannot be bought or sold; it knows it is worthy of love and pleasure and fulfillment. This is the part of me that eats."
- Excerpt from When Food Is Love by Geneen Roth

This book is getting to the bedrock, man. Sigh.

Today's Observations
Jim's Cincinnati Soup was absolutely outstanding. I only had a little bit though because soy and beans don't usually sit well on my stomach. But he outdid himself on the spicing! Nice job, baby bear! The Superfood IceScream has just totally been hitting the spot lately. I almost feel like I could live off that. I wonder what would happen if I ate only that and salads all day? Man, that's tempting...
