Yes Pam you are right. We all have choices.

I do own the fact that I am a food addict. Food addiction is a disease. It is not by choice that I turn to food for comfort, or to bury my emotions. In the last few months I felt I had no impulse control. It's like a moth being pulled to a flame and the destruction though not instanteous occurs over time with the deteriation of health. Lectures do not help. Well meaning as some remarks are meant to be it feels very much like a tear down. What changed in me today was something I pulled from within that I hadn't experienced in a long while. I am not going to let that stupid cake they seem to push at everyone at work or somebody's nasty little remarks get in the way of my determination.
