Hee,

I very much agree with you nicole, I think you captured it well.

On top of that I must add that it is very interesting that we choose food to gain control. we could have chosen anything. The reason for this is that food is something very fundamental. We see it with babies already, it is the only thing they can control, if and how much they eat, little children (from 2 to 6 years) mostly use food to get their parents to get it their way. They (the kids) understand that if they dont eat their parents will get stressed out, it is the only issue in their life where they have the sole control over, and the only way they can over power their parents. As children we all learned (not just us, all children) that food and control are linked. In my opinion (but that is just my opinion) it is because of this that we choose food to be obsessed about.
In nicoles story (which I very much agree with) you could fill in anything that we could pick to get control over (sleep, work, pain, etc) but I think that because food and control are linked in the minds of humans we chose food to control.
