Original Air Date: Feb 27, 2021*. I've only used a scale three times in 2 years.  You may wonder why I do that.  

In this Story Time Saturday episode, I give a small glimpse of when I started to use food as a way to cope with feelings.  I chat a little bit about how I struggled with body image issues in middle school and high school.  Then, I go into how working out and eating "well" almost made me pass out at work and basically gave me an eating disorder in college.  

I don't use a scale or even keep one in my apartment because my brain has a number it wants me to be and I'm not sure if I will ever be able to maintain that number consistently.  Even if I could, I'm convinced it will come up with a lower number because historically I have reached my goal weight and it just kept pushing me to go lower and lower and lower until I just said enough.

This episode is a little bit about that journey.
