Hi – intro- Teri
Hey y’all.
I’m a compulsive overeater. I can recite a list of other coping strategies, but at the end of the day, the more stressed I am, the more likely I am to make self-sabotaging choices.
I have food trauma and struggle to think about food in a healthy way. Added to that, I have dietary restrictions and a rather narrow palate so I’m not good at trying new things.
I’ve been morbidly obese for about half my life and I struggle to feel hope that I’ll ever feel like myself again. I feel like I’m living on the sidelines of my own life, trapped in a body that can’t do the things I want to do.
I’m looking forward to being in community with all of you. It’s something I haven’t tried yet because I was too ashamed. This space feels safe and I think it will help.

Hey Teri! You sound like me. And I will be stealing the phrase “narrow palate”. That sounds way better than I am kind of pick and a great big spice wimp! Where does your narrow palate live?
