You're Fat, Stop Eating... In My Words... And Theirs

Words shape how we see the world—and ourselves.Two simple ones defined much of my life:FOOD: something we need to survive.ADDICTION: an inability to stop doing something, especially something harmful.From eighteen years of age, I was trapped in a cycle of obsession, yo-yo dieting, and relentless guilt. For decades, my relationship with food felt like a battle I couldn't win.Until everything changed.After thirty years, I shifted my mindset, fought back, and took control. I reached my target weight—and discovered a healthier, more balanced version of myself.Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are now part of my life—daily challenges that test me—but I meet them with strength and determination, refusing to be defined by them.No longer driven by punishment or insecurity, but by resilience and self-worth, this is my journey—through struggle, recovery, and reclaiming my life.
