QUOTE : If I've learned anything by working with the nutritionist this summer, it's that my relationship with food has been king of messed up for a long time. I've been using food as a means of control, but I've also been using it as a way of avoiding making my own decisions, letting other people tell me what it was okay to eat so I could just go along. I didn't believe I had the power to make good choices myself, or even to make the occasional bad choice and not have it be a catastrophe.
