Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better. I used to have eating disorders; I'd binge and purge all the time: fried oysters, po' boys, muffulettas, beignets, coffee and doughnuts. I tried to medicate myself with food when people made fun of me or hit me with a bat in school. I'd always turn to food. Knowing what I now know, I'd turn to me.
Richard SimmonsAfter all the throwing up, I would starve myself. Which meant eating lettuce and water for two and a half months. I almost lost my life.
Richard SimmonsI don't have to teach anymore, I don't have to work anymore, God has been really good to me.
