Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.

Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.

Oh absolutely! As soon as I go to my aunt’s house or the airport I am just constantly “hungry”-she has always served snacks even while prepping dinner, while somehow at the airport I’ve developed a weird thing about eating like I won’t have another chance for days.

P.S. I finalllllly read your memoir-thank you for sharing so much of yourself. While I haven’t struggled to the extent you have, my default coping strategy if I’m not paying attention is emotional eating-and never health foods, of course! Reading your book was difficult and comforting and helpful all at the same time.

YES. I lost of all of my weight living in Florida, after college. I grew up and mainly battled my weight as a child in Connecticut. Four years ago, I moved to Boston. Even though it’s not the same, I associate Boston with CT and my biggest fear moving here was gaining the weight back. I’ve gained 10 lbs (then lost it) (then gained it after a recent break up) and working on losing it again. I only have one or two friends from my childhood that I’m still friends with, and it was a tough adjustment at first. We’re still working on it. Last year, I was pigging out on candy at the movies with my oldest friend (like we used to) and I had this moment of realization – I’m not that girl anymore, and I don’t do these things anymore. I got a handle on it real quick. It’s been an adjustment (even after four years). At home, in Florida, all of my friends are healthy/runners/know to not even ask me if I want a cocktail/treat/etc. Here, having to meet new friends, it’s all “Let’s go out to eat/get a drink”. Oy vey! I’m working on it, but being in New England is most definitely a trigger!

Yes! This always happens to me when I’m visiting my mom’s house, which is circa every 2-3 months.
And she has even moved 2-3 times after I moved out 10 years ago, so I guess it is so much the place, but just being back in my hometown and in my mothers house… very interesting – and also quite annoying…

Ummm yes. Every time I walk into my parents’ house/childhood home!

I totally understand what you are talking about. My childhood wasn’t the greatest. I didn’t have a supportive environment at home and I got bullied at school, so I turned to food for comfort. The struggle with using food as comfort lasted until my mid 30’s after my divorce, but I digress. Whenever I visit my mom and go home I get a bit depressed and feel like eating again.

This is definitely the case for me too! Familiar feelings lead to familiar patterns. I have been burning the candle at both ends lately which seems to have translated into a license to eat whatever I want while also cutting out exercise. This is exactly how I got overweight in the first place. I need to make some changes so that I don’t end back up where I started.

For me it’s people and specific foods. For example, when I’m at a family gathering and there are chips and French Onion dip, I can very easily fall into mindlessly overeating them. It’s context — that was a commonplace food growing up, but I rarely have it at home — and also low grade stress of being with them. I love my family dearly, but I’ve learned that the dynamics of being together can lead to some mild anxiety. Interesting topic!

I completely agree with this, and absolutely love you for always speaking what I can’t always pull from my brain. I also think maybe assessing the situation a step further would help though. Right now (I THINK!) you’re in another period of uncertainty with closing on the new house, not knowing what lies ahead as first time home buyers, getting married, etc. I know I always get feelings of binge eating when things seem way out of my control. Perhaps it’s not your parents’ place as much as it is the state you’re in when you’re there for extended periods of time (break up, new house, etc).
