I found this article, though simplistic in nature, extremely truthful. Some may understand and some may not. I come from a history of Bulimia and substance abuse and I guess the most I can say is I am constantly trying to better myself- from my past. And It's not easy.
I just returned from a vist with my Mother. Some of you may know from previous posts that she has cancer. It is her third round, and sadly, her diet is atrocious! I suppose it could be far worse as my Step-Father does include various whole foods amongst the Pringles and fake Guacamole... And I seldom get out of there without being swayed by the Dark Side of processed foods. I try and tell her what I've learned over the last year, but ultimately I, also, succumb after only a few days of pressure! How awful!
I've told her that I may have to just not eat with them. Or, I have thought I may have to stay at a Hotel, rather than at their home, for I can't seem to hold fast when she persists on tempting me with these yucky doodies!
It is good to be home!
Be strong friends! Lord(who ever he/she is) knows I'm trying.
Best wishes,
Avalon
