This Is My Theater. This Is Where

I Just Want People To Get Off The Back Burner Of Their Life And Start To Take Better Care Of Themselves And Their Children.

I Began Reading Cook Books When I Was Six, Cause My Father Had Hundreds Of Cook Books In The Kitchen. I Was Obsessed With Cooking And Tasting Different Recipes. I Got Lost In Being A Compulsive Eater. It Brought Me Much Happiness. Sadness Too, Sure. But I Have To Say, And Compulsive Eaters Will Agree With Me, For That Few Seconds That You're Eating, Food Tastes Just Great.

Stop Trying To Find Something In Food That Will Make You Feel Better. I Used To Have Eating Disorders; I'd Binge And Purge All The Time: Fried Oysters, Po' Boys, Muffulettas, Beignets, Coffee And Doughnuts. I Tried To Medicate Myself With Food When People Made Fun Of Me Or Hit Me With A Bat In School. I'd Always Turn To Food.

I Never Sold Any Of Those "lose 10 Pounds Every Week" Scams. I've Not Changed My Tune In All These Years. I've Seen Everything Pass By Me, And I've Been Offered Millions Of Dollars To Put My Name On Products That Were Just Lies. And I Never Did It.

I've Always Practiced This: Love Yourself. Move Your Body. Watch Your Portions.
