It’s a contentious subject for some. I became too strident. She took offence. I didn’t mean her to. I apologised, and I think she understood. But her talk had unsettled me. I’ve never known the right course of action. Perhaps there is no such thing. It’s an emotional thing, our relationship with food and eating. Well, it certainly is for me. I want to understand, my relationship in particular and to do better by my body. For, all too often, it doesn’t seem to like the decisions I make on its behalf. Do better, Ellen. Do better.
