Love/Hate Relationship

Good luck! I've had a love/hate relationship with food since the age of 13. I'm now 53.

I have attended 12 step recovery groups for eating disorders for 17 years. Worked the steps with sponsors and sponsees, spent thousands of dollars on therapy (and followed suggestions eagerly).

I tried everything to get over my food and weight obsession. Now 40 years later, I'm pretty tired of it, but it has not subsided one iota.

I guess, my only solace, is that I accept that I will always feel this way, since I've sincerely done everything I can to "recover". This is my "cross to bear" and we all have crosses of one sort or another.

I suppose I've learned to live with near constant obsession after all these years, as a diabetic learns to live with their eating limitations. This doesn't mean I don't still hate it, but I very much doubt that it's going to go away at this point in my life. Acceptance can, of itself, be a relief.
