These days, I use food for medicinal purposes — including mental health.

Back in my 20, my only intention for eating well and less was to maintain a somewhat ‘perfect body’ even though my health and life were suffering.

I don’t know how I managed to exercise so much yet live on a less-than-ideal diet filled with so-called ‘low caloric’ foods that contained so much sugar.

I used to eat and do many stupid things — to attain the perfect figure!

No decision was as silly as dieting for a bodybuilding show — and that body became an obsession to attain, even though being such a low body fat as a woman was dangerous.

We become so fixated on the ideal body that our health doesn’t matter.

We’re young, after all, and can take it.

That attitude in itself is a recipe for disaster!

I spend the next several years suffering from weight gain and the inability to lose it!
