Food has always brought me comfort and the bingeing is triggered when I'm in a space that is not positive.
A few years ago I lost 30 pounds, and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly, I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier. I realized: 'Why am I trying to conform to someone else's idea of beauty?' I think I'm beautiful either way.
Sometimes poetry is inspired by the conversation entered into by reading other poems.
