When Food Becomes The Enemy, Every Time

Who Am I? I'm A Survivor. I'm A Woman With Tremendous Inner Resources And Resilience. I Care About People. I Believe In 'do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You,' And I Live By That. I Am Becoming Authentic, And That's Important To Me. I Have Surpassed Both My Parents In Terms Of Emotional Stability, Happiness And Well-being. And I'm A Lucky Woman. I've Deserved My Luck.

When A Significant Other - A Spouse, A Parent Or Someone You're Close To - Is Dying, It Forces You To Think About Your Life, About What You Feel About Death. What I Realized From My Dad's Dying Was That I Wasn't Scared Of Dying. But I Was Terrified Of Regrets. I Was Terrified Of Getting To The End Of My Life With A Lot Of Why Didn't I's.

I Thought I Had Learned How To Have An Intimate Relationship. And I Thought I'd Learned How To Be Happy. Everybody Has Issues. For Me, The Challenge Is Intimacy, But I Really Didn't Start To Get That Until I Turned 60.

I Like To Think Both - It's Not Either/or. It's And.

We Need Women Friends, Women Who Challenge Us.
