So therapy really helped.
Yeah, overeater.
I was a binge eater when I was in my early teens and early 20s.
It was out of control.
I was even unemployable.
So it kind of was a great thing, really, because it forced me to do my own work.
I couldn't progress in life unless I handled that.
So I went to therapy.
I went to 12-step programs.
I did all sorts of things to try and heal it.
Now, it helps to go back.
You've got to grieve.
You've got to see what happened.
You have to understand it.
But after that,
If you just stay stuck in analyzing why you are the way you are, which I did for years because that was all that was really available, you kind of solidify the self of that story.
Well, what we focus on grows.
So if you're constantly, oh, there it is again.
Oh, it's because my father.
And oh, it's because my mother.
