This feels eerily close to my own emotional landscape, especially when I'm reflecting deeply on my body, my health, my addictions, and my inner child. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and emotionally honest post.

This touched me on a deep, human level. Specially since I've been where you are in the past (I'm sure that a lot of us have, we just don't talk about it enough). I know how hard it is to fight those intrusive thoughts and the struggle that comes along with it. The fact that you're here, and courageously sharing just a vulnerable aspect of yourself, gives me hope. We need more honest writing like this here. Thank you for sharing this 🙏

That in itself means so much to me that I can’t even express them here. THANK YOU! 💪

Such an insightful and brave share - I read every word and was pulled in to your world for a short while. I think it takes a deep level of strength to face and then work through issues in our lives - whether illness, disease, addiction or other stored trauma that impacts us. I worked with many addicts in recovery when I was a personal trainer and health coach, I have seen how tough the journey to any sobriety can be, and food - that is the ultimate, because whilst alcohol and drugs can be removed completely. Food cannot. Thanks for the deep insight and wishing you nothing but the best as you move through this stage of your life.
