Being free from food means that I won't be dreaming of my next meal at all times. It means I can eat out and leave stuff on my plate. It means when I take left overs home I can actually eat them the next day rather than an hour later. It means my stomach will stop hurting all the time. Oh I wish I were free from the bondage of food now! .-= Shawnee´s last blog ..5 day July 4th Weekend =-.

I have the best memories of eating smores. A few years ago my parents made some in foil on their grill. Me being me opened one up and dug right in..not thinking about the mess they cause. I had chocolate from ear to ear. Everyone got a good laugh. This post is so true regarding the freedom to make healthy food choices. Sometimes it's so hard in a large group of people to make the best decision possible. I remember how I used to think I "had" to eat what the group did. Things are different now. .-= Lindsay´s last blog ..Family and Fireworks =-.

suffice it to say that for me it was FINALLY having food become more like breathing.

it sounds….overstated but its so true.

an instinctual thing.

I used to feel stuck that only certain things would make me happy food wise. But learning to eat for me and not what others thought made me learn that I could be happy with lots of food I would never had dreamed of eating. .-= Cynthia (It All Changes)´s last blog ..Happy Birthday America- =-.

I agree. Feeling free as it relates to a healthy lifestyle for me = choosing healthy foods because I want to not because I'm telling myself this is what I "should" have. And while eating it not looking at/thinking about the other food choices longingly. .-= PhluffyPrincess´s last blog ..Point me please- Back to WW- =-.

I think you hit the nail on the head, Diane. The freedom I’m working towards is not just freedom from the extra weight, but from the pull of food in my life.

Your weekend sounds like it was wonderful! Have a nice week.

Great post, Diane! I haven't found my way to freedom with food yet, but know i'm getting closer. I'll know i'm free when I make the right choices more often, and when I no longer need the food scale as often! .-= fittingbackin´s last blog ..4th of July Lake Trip =-.
