"If hunger isn't the problem, then food isn't the answer."

Food can't listen to us when we just need to talk.
Food can't dry our tears and give us a shoulder to cry on.
Food can't encourage us, pray for us, advise us.
Food can't respond to our emails, our PMs, our phone calls.
Food can't fix what's making us worry.
Food can't fix what's making us sad.
Food can't keep us from being lonely, bored, depressed, or anxious.
All food can do is fuel our bodies.... and teach us the importance of self-control.
* * *

For too many years, I opened the fridge instead of opening up to a friend. Then one day I realized that so-called comfort food really wasn't all that comforting, after all. And I decided to take control over food, rather than letting food have continued control over me.
That's the day I started a new journey toward health!

Please call me Molly ... I am a 43-year-old SAHW and kitty mom, with diabetes, hypothyroidism and asthma. I'm now in my 7th month of eating healthy, and have lost 85 pounds so far ... woo hoo. I am looking forward to meeting y'all!
