Remember that relationship you stayed in way too long?
You bitched about it to your friends constantly. You told yourself repeatedly that this fight was the last straw. You fantasized about a new life outside of it. After each break up, you swore you wouldn’t go back.
And yet you did. Over and over again. You knew it wasn’t what you wanted or deserved but convinced yourself that this time would be different. So, you tried again and again and again, only to experience the same feelings of unhappiness, unfulfillment and frustration, again, and again, and again.
Until the day you didn’t.
Ah, that glorious, freeing day when you decided this is it, and you finally left for good.
Yeah, it sucked at first. Big time. You had lost your sense of normalcy. You constantly questioned your decision. Your world was shaken.
But what happened? Within a few months, you looked back and thought, “What the hell took me so long?!” Once you saw it with clarity, you couldn’t un-see it. You fully realized just how unhealthy that relationship had been and were left wondering why you didn’t make this decision earlier.
Well, you’re currently in an unhealthy relationship. You’ve been there your entire life and, if you don’t make some serious changes, you’re destined to stay there for the rest of it.

This unhealthy relationship is with food...
...and it's time to break up.
