Hi Nancy
I've been following your progress for a while now. I find strength in your journey. Also I am understanding my overeating as a way of coping with being abused physically by my mother as a child. I too was not allowed to show emotions, as this would lead to further beatings, and verbal abuse. I learned to clean, tidy up, iron and cook as a young child to help stop abuse, keeping my mother happy. I too am taller than average, although not as tall as you, and of course I'm on the very large side!!! I also do not like standing out. I find comfort in your words. Thank you
