For Harper Grace, Cooper, and Norah There are not enough waves in the ocean to express my love for you.

For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around food. We celebrated birthdays at nice restaurants, rewarded achievements with trips to the local ice cream shop, and forgot bad days over giant bowls of pasta. Growing up in the Deep South, nearly everything was deep-fried, extra sweet, and extra large. Its just the Southern way of life. My mother is a fabulous cook.

There werent many evenings that passed without all four of us gathered around the dinner table at 6 p.m. enjoying a home-cooked meal. Still, processed food was abundant. Bless their hearts, our parents just didnt know any better at the time. Processed foods and, hormone-laced meats didnt carry the stigma that they do today. Low-fat diets and meal-replacement shakes were all the rage in the 90s.

It wasnt until the early to mid-2000s that people started waking up to the danger that is processed food! Unknowingly, that processed food began taking its toll on me. My issues with food and body image emerged during my adolescence. My recollection of first feeling ashamed of my body occurred when I was around ten years old. I remember a trip to the mall with my mom in search of a new pair of jeans. Nothing in the girls department fit me properly, so we bought a pair of boys husky-size jeans. I hated those jeans.

It was the first time in my life I ever felt embarrassed about the way I looked. Although I was only in elementary school at the time, that pair of jeans made a profound impact on my future. As I matured, I found pleasure and enjoyment in foodand also the restaurants, the experiences, and the company. As with many young people (and old alike), I began this habit of catering to my every whim. Indulgence became my middle name. I ate what I wanted, when I wanted, and however much I wanted.

It didnt bother me if I felt ill after eating too much as long as the food satisfied me emotionally. When I went off to college, I gained more than just the freshman 15, and by the time I was twenty-two, I was pushing 200 pounds (91 kg) on a 5'3" (160 cm) frame. I am still an indulgent person, and this habit of self-gratification is something I will probably have to be cognizant of for the rest of my life. My eating habits led me down a rabbit hole of uncontrolled weight gain. After marriage and two children, I reached my heaviest weight of 250 pounds (113 kg), and I wasnt even thirty years old. If Im being perfectly honest, that number might actually have been higher, but at the time I didnt dare step on a scale to face reality.

To say I was constantly tired, irritable, unhappy, and ashamed is an understatement.
