I think for years, I haven't been "satisfied" with what the food gave me anymore. It's like i kept looking for the perfect bite to make me "happy" again and only got more depressed and fat. Now... I'm pretty confident I will find some perfect bites. (and I will be happy with a bite) I already have found satisfaction.and there is a deep down joy that comes from being rescued. I'm so grateful!
