    About this ebook

    This is a book of poetry that is split into two sections. The first half is a series of poems that directly address binge eating, food addiction, and chronic dieting. It is the hope that readers with these issues may garner peace as well as solidarity that they are not alone. The second half of the poems depict real life experiences and relationships. Food addiction and dieting don't exist in a bubble. Exploring other topics via poetry, helps one to stay grounded and in turn helps to effectively deal with the subjects related to food.

      Q Recently you seemed to support a partner's destructive behaviour towards their other half – sulking. He asked why she couldn't just shout and get it over with, like him. Sulking – a refusal to talk or have eye contact – can be classified as abuse.

      You Said It

      WINNING LETTER Think before you get divorced, a family member said. A woman of your age (about 54 at the time) will battle to find a man. Men prefer younger women. I suddenly felt rather insignificant. I was defined by whether I had a man? I had a qu

      Q My mother died last year and I’m still tormented by the fact that, despite all my efforts, she died alone. I’d set up a rota with my family so there was someone with her all the time during her last days, even at night. But when it was my shift, sh
