Well, I believe that caffiene and sugar can enhance our depression and anxiety. I believe the having a high energy level is wonderful for a person. I have found that I have an issue with these things in regard to self-esteem. I might be wrong, but why do I treat my body like its so much a part of my self-esteem. There are overwight people with a healthier self-eteem then some very pretty, healthy folks. I am no different from the mass majority. This really bothers me. The truth is that I love to take care of my body and stuff but I feel like its wrong to link this to how I choose to feel about myself. The push of the media suggest that I am in trouble if I dont eat certain foods......etc. I just cant help but want to rebel against this war against obesity. Do you see my conflict. I am quite "health conscious" yet I dont know if i'd willingly walk in the shoes of someone who is not very healthy. I dont know why this bothers me. I would appreciate anyone who has insight on this. Thank you.
