I'm reading "Naturally Thin" by Bethenny Frankel and she writes a lot about getting rid of the guilt and bad feelings associated with eating. Food is food. It's not there to make you feel bad about yourself.

Sit, Camela, and listen. What are you feeling and where are you feeling it. It's just such an amazing thing... that our bodies are there for us - ready to help us through just about anything. You are so amazing and full of grace - I just couldn't love you any more than I already do!

I know that so often I beat myself up over things that I said or did in my past, I stress and when I stress, i do things that aren't good for me, only furthering a vicious cycle of mental self-flagelation (sp?). We need not be held captive by our fears, be it failure or our pasts. We DO deserve more and I thank you for reminding me today that I am worth my life.
