As a islandgirl AND proud pinay, I grew up with TONS of amazing food around me. Chamorro and filipino foods brings me back to memories of hanging out with family and friends. There is so much comfort in it.
I struggled with my weight for most of my childhood AND adulthood. I was a stress eater. When I felt overwhelmed, depressed or bored, I reached out for comfort food and all sorts of snacks.
I never realized (until recently) that every time we got together, it was around food.
The point of being together is to spend quality time together right? and THAT my friends was the realization I needed.
Don't get me wrong...i will go all fiesta and party mode BUT I make sure that I don't use it as an excuse to go crazy with food. I'm still learning how to handle these food moments. Knowing how to handle it IS the battle.
