I love the letter to food. can anyone tell me who wrote it?
here it is for those that are interested...
Dear Food
This letter may come as a shock, but I have something I need to tell you…something I’ve needed to do for a long time.
I am breaking up with you. I know that we have had a lot of history together, and this is very hard on me, but I have come to understand what an unhealthy relationship we truly have.
We have a dysfunctional relationship. I depend on you for far more than you can give…comfort, entertainment, peace, relaxation, company, and joy. I expect way too much from you, considering you don’t have the power to give me any of these things. I have been asking too much, and I am sorry. I’m also sorry for treating you like the enemy at times. I have acted like you are the one to blame for all of my problems. I thought that if I didn’t have to deal with you, my life would be perfect. This is not true. I realize that my problems can’t be fixed by your presence or absence. You are not the one to blame or to run to.
Food, the hardest part of breaking up with you is thinking back on all the fun we’ve shared…the movies, the vacations, the holidays, the birthdays, the trips to see the family and our times with mutual friends. You stand out in all those memories, but I am seeing how I elevate you above others during those times. I often focused more on you than a friend or family member. This is why we must break up. We can still be friends. In fact, we can still go to the same parties and be together at holidays, but you just can’t be my best friend and secret love anymore.
Food…I have met some one else. His name is Health. Health has been my friend for a long time, and he wanted to be more intimate with me, but Health said we couldn’t be, not as long as you were my main love. Health wants to be number one in my life.
The reason I have chosen Health over you is because Health can give, and wants to give, me all the things you can’t…comfort, joy, peace, rest, company, and love! I need these things, and I can share all of them with Health. I need to be with Health. Health must be my first love.
Food, I want to have a healthy relationship with you. We’ve been together for so long, and I know that breaking up is hard to do, but our relationship will be so much better when we’re friends. I’ll only depend on you for what you are able to give me…nourishment. I won’t blame you for the things you have no control over anymore. My new love says its okay for us to be friends as long as that is all we are.
Well, I’ll be seeing you around. I know it is so much better this way.
