Being obsessed with food is a waste of time.

When we think about how much time--in total--we've spent practicing our
eating disorder, it can be an impressive figure. Many of us have spent years
being obsessed with calories, diets, binges, purges, scales, laxatives,
exercise, how clothes fit, and whatever else went along with our particular
eating-disorder ritual. The entire process was extremely time-consuming.

Some of us come to realize that we possibly could have brought up another
child or prepared for another career or pursued a hobby quite seriously with
only a small portion of the time and energy we spent on our food obsession.
It's amazing how much gets done when overeating and undereating have no
place on our agendas.

Today, we may be tempted to pull the end of a string that we know will begin
to unravel our abstinence and plunge us back into the chaos and
unmanageability of our preoccupation with food. If this happens, we can stop
to realize that there is a world of things we'd really rather be doing with
our time.

The hours of today are mine, as long as I don't give them to my food
obsession.
