>I love the Biggest Loser too, exactly because I cry (although this season sucks

for that, LOL). I think that when we cry over shows, we are really crying for

ourselves. On Biggest Loser I cry when the people are being heard for the first

time. They can tell their stories and someone hears them. Often, we simply

don't have anyone to tell.

>Whenever I find myself wanting to hide behind or comfort myself with food, I

say hooray and run for my computer to write it out - WHILE I am stuffing my

face. My objective is to look for the Truth behind my eating. What Truth am I

not seeing? What assumption have I made about life that is false? Sometimes it

takes a while, but I keep writing whatever pops into my head, even if it's " I

don't know. " I keep asking, what is the Truth here? What am I avoiding?

Eventually, something occurs to me.

hit the Truth when I suddenly stop eating. I lose interest in the food

immediately. So I keep writing and eating until this happens. Thanks for

listening - I hope something here is useful.
