You know the very first time I ever heard this phrase "trigger foods," I was reading something in a medical journal. Can't remember which one, but it mentioned this "trigger foods," as though everyone would know what it was. Ooops they were wrong.

As I told you last week "it was not like they said." I began gaining weight when I was 7 years old. On my first diet when I was 8. How's that?

It was not like they all said. Mine has been a journey of self-discovery both physically and emotionally.

Just 5 years ago,I weighed about 506 lbs. I was in an awful place both physically and emotionally. Treated as though I didn't exist or as though I wasn't a human being. I only got two looks from most people; one of pity or disgust. It was always in the eyes. I had been overweight since the age of 7. I was placed on my first diet when I was 8 years old. Gaining and losing weight throughout the next 38 years.
